Here's my take on the whole climate change thing: I don't honestly believe the global warming hysteria. I don't think that me using less toilet paper will save a polar bear's life. I don'tt think that we have damaged the world so deeply that we can change the weather globally.

HOWEVER, I well and truly believe that we can't keep going like we have been...seriously, we treat the world like a dump, that can't be good. I grew up in coal country, and it ain't pretty...Driving through parts of SE Kansas, NE Oklahoma feel like you're in Mad Max or something, toxic dust killing tress and causing birth defects ARE NOT FICTION. I've seen it, my mom worked with superfund sites and guys, it is messing with people's health. So there is something to the argument that anthropogenic pollution is hurting our environment in meaningful ways. Changing the entire world's weather? No. ****ing in our own nest? Yes.

So...maybe a little hysteria isn't so bad. Maybe it'll get enough people thinking about the effects of what they do, so things will maybe get a little better, without hurting people too much more...
