I think you're being a little sensitive. It's just my impression, but it didn't seem like Zelmo was trying to belittle you. He was trying to make you think outside your comfort zone. When we use labels it's because we try and organize things into compartments. I know you don't want to be compartmentalized, or labeled as it were, but you can't control how other people think of you and still be yourself. I suggest you stop worrying about how others percieive you.
If you beleive in your opinons you don't have to apologise for it, but you need to accept the possibility you're wrong sometimes, and that other people's rights trump your emotional reaction to their excersize thereof.

I'm sorry if I got this topic off topic. I would like to continue talking about it though if anybody else does?
It happens naturally, and that's OK.
How about we all watch this video, a short 17 minutes. It's Bjorn Lomborg, a Danish economist, who puts global warming up against all the many enormous problems man faces. I think it gives a good perspective on how to prioritize fixing things.
N.b., Lomborg is a bit negative toward climate change there, he has since shifted toward accepting it as a problem.

Well I often link to Energy Victory by Dr. Zubrin. He provides a chapter on man made global warming and also shows how it is a long term concern, not a short term concern as compared to other pollution issues. Technology will moot it.
