pollution and climate change are separate issues.
I would like to see more laws enacted in re: pollution.
climate change? I'm afraid there really isn't much we can do about it overall except to curb our wasteful ways, which brings us back to pollution reduction.
change the focus, change the plan and change the meme.
the climate change argument serves government and industry.
the pollution argument serves the people but grates against the government and industry because it is they who must pay the price and be policed.
in the meantime, how many of you have been told to watch your water and electricity consumption because of pollution and conservation?
how often do you hear that same warning being given to industry?
It is industry that consumes the most and has the most unfettered run at it.
from operations to distribution, it is where the focus needs to be when it comes to cleaning stuff up, but it always seems to come back to "use your ac less" or stop using a dryer or some such other nonsense that distracts from the real problem.
unfortunately, the depression that is upon us is probably what it's gonna take to really enact change.
alternatively, we may enter into full out global war which will also take care of many of the issues we are faced with.
either way, people are going to die because of the folly of humanity.
happy christmas!
