I am kind of with Greenback here, hehe.
Flu shot - no - not getting them
Global Warming? - I don't know
Fact is, there is so much out there about how ineffective and useless flu shots really are. For that, I don't see the point of the risk. I wouldn't say, "The flu shot is too risky." But no, I don't see the point of getting stuck with a needle, and being exposed to viruses and chemicals, for no good reason. I'd say, "I don't see the benefit."
Global Warming? I believe the earth is getting warmer. Beyond that I don't believe mankind has a clue. Is this bad? Would reducing CO2 emmissions hurt us more than help? (Yes, it could! Scientists have proven it can hurt more than help). Do humans have a good track record "playing God?" Don't we have a long history of solving one problem, while inadvertently creating many more problems?
Which leads me to a point. We are big on recycling and reducing energy usage. Is it because we believe in Global Warming? Pffft. It's because we believe that resources on earth are limited. I wouldn't assume everyone who was "green" was green for the sole purpose of global warming. In my opinion, people who believe that reducing emmissions will reverse global warming, and save the world, are idiots. If only the Earth was so simple! I don't mind reducing emmissions so I can breathe clean air though. There are plenty of valid, tangible reasons to go Green.
For that I am sure I could easily be judged to fit into the mold of "anti-flu shot, pro-global warming." But reality is I think there is a lot of hype out there and most people don't think much beyond what they are told.
