I think you're smoking something if you really believe that meaningful action on climate change will take place anytime soon--or in a way that will truly be effective--ever. For all the hue and cry, handwringing, and doomsaying, nothing is going to happen of any consequence, sorry to say. Go ahead, disagree. Protest all you want--it will make no difference. In the meantime I will watch my TV run on coal, put fossil fuel my car, fly an airplane to a vacation destination, use natural gas to heat my house, and eat food grown by hydrocarbons and transported a thousand miles or more to my Whole Foods--until I can't. You will too, until you can't.
