About The Author
This is a complicated subject. Let's consider I'm standing at the edge of a pond. I'm about to relieve myself when a septic truck with 5,000 gallons of waste pulls up alongside me. I begin at the same time the truck opens its 4" pressurized hose. If I stop at that exact moment, how much am I contributing to the lack of destruction of that pond?
America can do EVERYTHING perfect and EVERYTHNG correct, while destroying our economy with regulations that Communist China ignores. The environment continues its downward trend, along with America. If the ENITRE planet isn't participating, nothing is changing. What is the gain, except feeling good with a moral superiority?
I'm not saying America should pollute like Communist China, I'm only saying that America needs to strike a fine line between overzealous and destructive rules vs ignoring our environment.
I'll bet that MANY of the people in that classroom AND their OWN FAMILIES participate in littering, over consumption, and selfish actions which are poor for the local environment.
the climate change global warming is the biggest scam FORCED on the American people so a few people can get rich. im all for spending money on things that will help us thrive in the changing climate (which we have zero-.0001% control of), which we dont currently do. wake up people you have been scammed.
when i think about my future, climate change is not something i think about at all. stop wasting your money, time and thoughts on climate change.
our use of fossil fuels has stopped the next ice age which wouldve wiped out the worlds population. tell me im wrong with facts.

Umm… I was 10 when Hurricane Andrew (A CAT 5 HURRICANE) hit South Florida.. that was 30 YEARS AGO!!
Climate changes 4 times a year EVERY YEAR!
we are wasting our time and money on trying to change the climate (laughable) instead of using it for things that will help us get through the changing climate. like hurricane proof houses in certain areas.

You mean the people that need funding for research? Or the people that are manufacturing THE PROBLEM and "the solutions" ?? ??
How can you not understand something SOOOO basic.
Climate change alarmist is insane. People are uniformed and listen to a bullshit narrative. Reducing carbon in the atmosphere is suicidal.
Global cooling would be exponentially worse than global warming.
Climate change is bs
Will you kids calm down….there are 50 things that are far more pressing than climate change…you're making yourselves crazy.
Don't lie to our children!
Stop chemtrailing our skies for starters……
This climate fear mongering is part of the cause of the mental health issues among our young people these days. We need to quit with catastrophizing normal weather fluctuations.
I’m an older millennial, and my generation defeated the giant hole in the ozone and acid rain.
