What I'm Learning at State College - "We can't change global warming"

My advertising professor starts every class period by telling us how he can remember riding the horse and buggy to school. He said the man who owned the Weather Channel has convinced him with scientific proof that the said effects of Global Warming are merely natural occurrences and that those who believe in Global Warming have yet to prove otherwise. He further said that even if we did change our ways "we can't stop China or India who make up half the world's population".

What I have realized about retired now adjunct professors is that not only are they set in their ways but they have closed minds and a negative perception when it comes to change. Would it be so bad to believe in Global Warming? I mean all that would result is humans taking responsibility for our waste and excess. Shouldn't we care about the environment and in effect ourselves? Those who strongly oppose the idea of Global Warming simply don't want to take responsibility for the destruction of the planet and are unwilling to change their spoiled ways – give up their SUVs, reduce, reuse, and recycle, and so on.

Maybe I'm too hopeful or optimistic. But I think we should be taught ideals along with reality and that change happens and so can we. I didn't pay for the college of Can Not.
