The Climate Issue is both political and Economic, and one cannot separate the two, can one?? To wit:
If you travel by air to any degree, you will have noted the gray-dull brown haze hanging over most large American cities, even those without any heavy industry. That haze is auto/truck exhaust. That cannot be good to inhale, can it? Did we cause it? Oh, yeah. Are we fixing it? No. Too political and too expensive.
Smoking?? Extensive campain to eliminate it. Much money spent. Much media attention devoted to it. Big taxes applied to tobacco to exterminate it. Really, really bad stuff, right? Well, I still see fitness freaks running 5 miles in the brown smog, then climb into their Deisel Mercedes and roar off, waving the Finger at a Smoker on the sidewalk. Political victory? Yes. Problem solved? No. Let's not even mention the "War on Drugs".
As Hound says, "WhatEver". Many more examples apply to the question of progress and priorities.
Not to worry, though. Your elected officials, who represent YOUR IDEALS and YOUR WORRYS are paying close attention to you. They will provide.
