Be more realistic. People are going to start caring when it is barely possible (/impossible) to go skiing year after year.

I can break your knees every December.  Will that make you care?

Why would that make me care any more or less about global warming?

Besides, I wasn't talking about myself. I don't like to ski and prefer a desert climate.

I intend to be dead by then.

Be proactive then, and make it sooner than later.

I don't see how that would help.

You'll reduce your carbon footprint.  Act Locally, and all that.

Presumably because it would make it difficult for you to ski, thereby making you care.  I don't know, you were the one who connected caring with skiing .
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I was trying to think of something that might actually bother people and inability to ski came to mind.

A drop in the ocean?

Besides, I recycle and I take public transport. That's gotta have me doing better than most of America.

A medium-sized dog has the same impact as a Toyota Land Cruiser driven 6,000 miles a year, while a cat is equivalent to a Volkswagen Golf.

Which is why I have a cat, and garbon needs to stop shitting in the neighbor's yard.

You have like 6 cats, don't you? :P stop hurting mother nature!
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

I have three.  They are all shrimpy.  Together they would make up one an half normal cats.  Hell one doesn't have working tail and another has only three functional legs.

I had two, but Princess Sneakers Kosar Unitas of Monaco had to be put down at age 18 in 2009.  Keep up with threads, man.
