We must be good stewards of the world God gave us. But climate warming is a hoax. The world temperature has been dropping steadily for a couple decades.
Dennis, that's not true.Your sources are skewed. I know what the scientific literature says. We have ice caps melting, oceans warming, shifting jet streams. What we aren't sure of is how much is human-caused. Climate change has happened in the past, without human responsibility. My attitude is that our emissions are likely to be having an effect, and learning to deal with that can only help. It may in fact be essential.
Forests dying, the cloud forests of Central and South America disappearing, along with all the unique species dependent on them. But it's not just global warming. It is water pollution from the medical waste of our pills, and garbage accumulation. We need to change our way of life, myself included.
Ann, as is often the case with empirical claims, there is at least controversy rather than scientific consensus. In fact, science is not like politics, where one can properly speak of consensus as something definitive. Science has a long history where consensus was blatantly wrong, e.g., the biggest mistake of all with total acceptance of geocentrism. As for climate change, note the multiple contrary indicators that have been ignored by mainstream media: https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/climate-change-global-warming-earth-cooling-media-bias/
Nonetheless, I could not agree with you more about the need to control evident pollution caused my industries seeking profit no matter the environmental damage they cause, e.g., in the dumping of plastics into our oceans.
Perhaps, a chart to notice is the average global temperatures over the last hundred thousand years, where glaciation has largely dominated, save for the anomalous Holocene period of the last ten thousand years in which human civilization has developed. And I still say we need be more concerned about the impact of the solar minimum we are entering than the overstated impact of CO2 emissions.

Hope we learn soon!!!

blest the poor, they can teach us
what matters most--shelter, food, family.
LOVE IT, made my heart happy the last three stanzas

Here is a good example of unnecessary, very damaging, and immoral environmental pollution:

Dennis, preaching to the choir.
