Honestly, it's so frustrating dealing with the people who want to stick their heads in the sand. Even if you don't believe the climate is changing, have you not noticed how the air has gotten less brown over major cities since coal plants were shut and car/truck emissions were at least reduced? Even if global warming weren't a thing, I'd very much prefer to not breath brown air.

Okay it's real and it's because of us but there's nothing we can do about it!1!! Like what do you want us to do??? Maybe if you give me a few more million dollars to do studies on the impacts of doing things then we'll be able to know for sure if we should do anything about it
