OK I have a partial solution.

1) since it's humans who pollute, let's have more wars and kill off a bunch of them.

2) since man created the huge cow population, Let's eat more meat.

edit
See PZ George Bush IS helping on the Global Warming thing. LOL

Yeah, Nature pollutes itself, recycles crap, heals itself, and does it all over again... but humans only pollute, little is being done to diminish the harm it is doing. Not that man is the only one setting things on fire, or eliminating species (natural selection)... perhaps the Earth is capable of sustaining this amount of damage, or even more.. but do we really need to test it? I'd rather not... I like to see blue skys, not grey ones.. I like to see fresh water flowing through a river, not tires, coke-bottles and stuff... We could be a little cleaner... Perhaps you live in a place where the environment is not as f*ked up as it is here... It really is a shame to watch the only "river" around here being grey, full of chemicals, tires, garbage... human dung swiming in it like long gone fish would have...

Nations and presidents and masses will never agree (perhaps they will... ), but we could all be a little cleaner and more respectful towards Mother Nature. It sure as hell won't hurt it...

Of course, we all have to be responsible (I specifically mean individuals, but government and industry too): don't throw garbage and waste in waterways, don't disable PCV's on your car, turn off lights and fix leaky water pipes. But are drastic measures needed? Your examples of environmental abuse (river polluted by chemicals, tires, garbage) may be the result of lazy individuals rather than the result of some government policy. So shouldn't the actions of individuals be changed first? Perhaps this could be done by a better enforcement of litter laws and anti-dumping ordinances. Even gray skies would be greatly improved by stronger laws that discourage dirty auto emissions (it helped in Los Angeles). Kyoto goes well beyond these simpler, common sense measures that all of us could stand to improve.

That's precisely my point... everyone must do it's homework... Lazy individuals must be corrected, but the damage must be repaired.. yet I don't see cleaning it up... Perhaps I should do it myself.
