No, you can't fully control it, but you sure damn well can help a ton.

Yeah, all we deranged folk are bored with the status quo, so we want to fuck with everything.
In the grander scheme of things, the twin knee-jerk generators, gay marriage and abortion, are distractions from more globally meaningful issues.

See, this is why you spell Eric with a c, not a k. With a k you become a fundie dumbass. And considering that the US produces the most pollution of any nation and that we consume more energy per capita than any other country so yes, we can do a lot. Even a million people doing a little can make a big difference. It isn't even an issue of whether you believe in global warming and that we cause it. It's that this is our only planet and there is no reason not to take care of it. (Especially considering our bad record of conservationism)

Speaking of mental disorders, you should know that your topic suddenly and randomly changed mid-rant.
Also in the mental disorder department, 'if we can't control it completely, we'll make everyone suffer!' is a sign of serious issues.

Erik seems to have a hard time holding a thought beyond the length of one sentence.

@Eric - Ahem, I have an intelligent, non-fundie son named Erik.
As for the OP, you can't control all the abortion, gay marriage or taxes in the world, either.

Seeing as the 5% of the worlds population which is in America produces 25% of he worlds carbon emissions, I would say that you could have a large effect on it at least. And don't get me started on mental disorders...

Let me see, we can't control population but we can control the methods to get them?. We can't control Global Warming but we can control the economical system which enables to create the environment that, in a way, accelerate or decrease its occurrence?. Please, I need a sociology course.

Asking you to start managing natural resources in a reasonable, efficient manner and acquiring an ecological awareness that somewhat surpasses those displayed by the villains from the "Captain Planet" animated series is not the same as asking you to take care of someone else's problems.
The hummer's fuel economy rating is 16-19 mpg, there are dozens of comparable cars on the market that are more fuel efficient. Rejecting this gas guzzler is not not a matter of left vs. right but a matter of common sense.

America makes a very large percentage of the worlds pollution. As far as liberalism being a mental disorder, I would sooner have a mental disorder than be a fool of intergalactic proportions like most conservatives...

Liberalism is a MENTAL DISORDER.
Yes it is.
But only in the same way as Conservatism is a mental disorder.
i.e. not really.

@Eric, if memory serves Erik is a fairly common Scandinavian spelling of the name.

"Gee is the law the law or What?"
You mean the law that allows free speach?
"Quit crying, we as Americans cant control all the poullation in the world."
We know, so kindly note how every other country in the world has vowed to lower Carbon Emissions (except the U.S of course).
So you don't need to control all the pollution in the world, the world is doing that for you.
"We cant control Global warming either"
Science disagrees with you.
"But what we can control is abortion"
So you can infringe upon the rights of other people, but you can't be socially responsible enough to cut back on your energy usage? You remind me of my now-disowned-brother.
"Gay Marriages and Taxes."
Read the last response I gave.
"Liberalism is a MENTAL DISORDER."
We'll let an expert in the field decide that...
...
*looks at watch*
...
Well unless I'm no longer an expert, I'd have to say "no, it isn't a mental disorder. It's the result of two issues, one being 'Free Will', the other being a 'Fact Based Mindset'".
