Seriously, though. I think until people start experiencing the real, devastating effects of climate change personally, they just won't take it seriously enough to do much about it. It's too abstract and far away for them. Unfortunately, it's closer than they think and we are all going to go down with the ship unless something is done soon on a massive scale.

It's too bad that the effing republicans see any effort in turning this around as a plot to curtail their profits and ability to exploit as much of the planet as possible. Unfortunately, all the old geezers will be dead before the shit really hits the fan, which is I suppose why they don't care in the first place.
