I predict over ten years ago that eventually as the prediction models used to promote the hysteria were consistently proven to be wrong (they have been) that we would start to hear less and less about "global warming" and that they would come up with something else. Well, I was right, "global warming" is being steadily pushed aside in favor of the rhetorical catch-all "global climate change", the dishonesty of which is breathtaking. There has never been, and will never be until the Earth's core goes cold and the sun burns out, a time where the global climate is static.
I don't much believe in so-called "climate change" either, but I do believe in clean air and water. You live in DC? Step outside and take a deep breath of air. Does it stink? Yes? Now, do you remember how much worse that air smelled back in the 60's and 70's?

My point is this: don't completely trash the idea of trying to live in harmony with our planet. Just because climate change may or may not be real, it doesn't change the fact that we have made great strides in cutting down on our pollution, which is a benefit to us all.
