Really? Solar power is a crappy idea? Wave power? How about OTEC? Carbon capture and sequestration are crappy ideas? Why? There are a lot of "proposed solutions." All crappy?
the proposed solutions are all crappy!!!
Most important, industrial hemp would have been decriminalized and promoted around the world, in a massive effort to replace those dirty nasty petro products with clean and organic hemp products...
Really? Solar power is a crappy idea?
Can you explain how the use of hemp would replace petroleum? Are you speaking of its use as a biofuel?

Seems like I remember hearing a lot of the same arguments when we were addressing acid rain.
"It's not a real problem," "We're not the cause," "It can't be fixed," etc., etc., etc..
As it turned out, it was a real problem, caused by us, that could be fixed.
Who'd a thunk it?

If climate change is real, then the people screaming the loudest are doing ALL the wrong things. If I did believe in man-made climate change, I would be absolutely furious... instead of just disgusted.

Are humans, us , not part of nature, do we not originate from here....do our products not originate from nature itself...
Unless we are pulling resources from some other planet, everything we are and produce has originated from nature. We just work it into things useful for us as.
Again, I think we just need a different mindset that allows us to make the smallest impact possible.

It's my personal opinion that much of the resistance to change is because of the heavy handed attitude coming from those who are demanding the change but want to live a lifestyle that is exempted from it...

What a very rational way to look at it.
I don't care how good an idea it is, I don't like your attitude so forget it.
Those shingles are awesome by the way. My house has the right orientation but I have a flat roof, so not for me.
