3. When Britain went through the industrial revoltution alot of harmful gas was released into the air. Global warming? No actually Global freezing during the height of this period world temperatures drop 4 degrees C. The United States doesnt admit 1/2 the amount the Britain of that era did & people whine about it.

Climate Change doesn't necessarily mean global warming. In fact, it's very likely that the melting of the polar ice caps will result in another ice age in Europe, and possibly North America (have fun). Besides that, it's unlikely that Britain during the industrial revolution could emit enough greenhouse gases on its own to cause a major shift in global climates. With the number of countries emitting those gases now though, well you can guess. Also keep in mind that the environment has the capacity to cope with a certain amount of emissions. Beyond that though you run into trouble, especially with many countries causing more and more emissions every year.

4. I agree recycling is a good idea but not every country has the inferstructure to do this. Tell governments to fix it so we can have recycling bins in the West of Ireland then whine to me about not recycling everything, I recycle my bottle & cans but without the bin collection I have to throw away the paper and cardboard.

Al Gore telling governments to build the infrastructure for large scale recycling isn't going to make it happen. If you want your government to institute a more comprehensive recycling program then you and other voters in your country/area will have to make it known that you want it. Whether you do that through writing politicians, protesting or some other means is up to you, but it won't happen unless you take the initiative. It's easy to expect others to just make it happen, but nothing will really get done that way.
