[pp.int.general] Don't roast our planet

[roberto aka robske]

While I oppose global heating, I do support actions to cut CO2 and other
pollutants output. Even if global heating wouldn't be true, we'd still have
the problem of these gases endangering our ozone layer (which is critical
for modern day's life on Earth), polluting areas and causing a health
hazard for life. Another reason why I'd support is, that I wouldn't want to
gamble our civilization on it, as earlier mentioned by others.
