I believe strongly, we use too many irreplaceable resources, to make too many (largely disposable) things, which raise the standard of living of the few instead of benefiting the many. I also think reducing per-capita energy usage over time is a laudable goal - provided we continue the trend of increasing efficiency we've had over the last 100 years. I have no doubts that climate change is happening - I'm just not certain its the most pressing problem humanity has right now - and certainly not the most pressing problem for most developed countries. Humanity will eventually put a fix in for climate change, but we have a habit of not fixing such things (threat of global calamity) until the last possible second - and I can make a strong argument that humanities finest hour has consistently been when hope is all but lost.
