Waiting far too long to do anything about climate change. There is no scholarly debate about the cause of global warming—99.9% of legitimate scientists warn that it is caused by human activity. Somewhere along the line it became a hot button political issue, and the American Right insists on pressuring and bemoaning the media for having a left-wing bias. This leads to a consistent attempt to "balance" things by reporting stories like "Many believe climate change is caused by human activity, but some disagree." and "The climate change debate continues."
This is not a political issue.
I don't give a fuck about restricting the perceived and ultimately relative liberties of Americans, and neither should you. This is for the greater good of humanity, not the greater good of the Republican or Democratic political party.
I myself came out of a religious culture in which the attitude was "God will fix it." Well, God isn't going to fix it, we need to fix it.
The apathy towards this issue in recent years makes me fucking sick.
