Global Warming? No
The need for more Green lifestyles and societies? Yes

Agreed. Keep in mind that it wasn't too long ago that they were crying out that we had to take drastic action to avoid a new ice age.
Keep in mind that the entire 159 year period that began in 1850, we have only had an increase in temperature of 0.76 C. Also, that none of the climatic models predicting global warming have shown accuracy.
The facts are we know that the world has warmed 0.76 C in the last 159 years. We also know that the earth has always had considerable variations in temperature. We know that the sun plays a large part in the climate. We know that the CO2 that everyone is over reacting to is one of the least important greenhouse gases. Some of them are many times more effective as a greenhouse gas.
Other than that we know very little. So for anyone to say that this is mainly caused by man is to show that you are just as ignorant of the science behind the issue as those that they look down on. They argue based on a belief that has not been shown to be true anymore than the people who believe in God. The only difference is the person who believes in God is less likely to be as smug and condescending.
