Everything you are saying is correct. It is never a bad thing to prepare. If grown ups kept that in mind we would all be better off.
What is unfortunate is that people sometimes use a problem, and I believe global warming is a problem, to say that only their solutions are the correct ones.
Like the person who wrote this article saying all the scientists in the world agree. Usually people who might benefit from money being raised want everyone to panic and be afraid and tax people and spend the money in ways that may not be effective, but are good for them.
Most of the laws that people who believe man is causing global warming have wanted to tax American companies but not companies in all the other countries, does that seem fair?
It is even worse when the people saying that don't practice what they preach. That is called being a hypocrite. So it is bad when President Bush says, for instance, he will be spend our money wisely then he doesn't. Just as it is bad for Prince Charles or Al Gore to say we all should conserve, right before they get on to a private plane (which causes much more pollution than if they just flew a regualar lane.)
You seem like a smart kid, maybe we should let you run things!
