The care of the environment is important, but what is equally important is that we don't take care of the environment so well that we can never enjoy it... With that said, here is a very interesting quote:

“Future generations will wonder in bemused amazement that the early twenty-first century’s developed world went into hysterical panic over a globally averaged temperature increase of a few tenths of a degree and, on the basis of gross exaggerations of highly uncertain computer projections combined into implausible chains of inference, proceeded to contemplate a roll back of the industrial age.”
