true, but maybe we're in the mess simply because we don't worry about long term effects of our actions.

  Climate change is the result of (mostly) unregulated profit-seeking. Not merely a lack of worry about long-term effects of our actions. It isn't accidental...we knew decades ago that there were consequences, but a few people with a lot of money bought policies ignoring the problem (from willing politicians worldwide). There is a profit motive behind our climate catastrophe, not "oops, I forgot to turn off the climate change machine when I left the house".

    And you don't think there is no profit motive in the current "global warming industry"?

      I thought we were having a serious/sincere conversation.

        We are - I'm not saying that most people want to do the right thing, but there is also bunch of them that use global warming as a way to make a quick buck. I hope you don't believe that one side of the debate is all good and another one is all bad..

          That doesn't make any sense, and I don't see any evidence that people are (or could) use global warming to "make a quick buck". "I hope you don't believe that one side of the debate is all good and another one is all bad.." What "sides" do you believe we're talking about here?
