If there is any science that says smiling or telling a joke will alter the climate, I will be the first in line to admit my error. Otherwise, I will argue that emotions are directly linked to our personal health, but not the climate. It's an entirely different system that has no emotions.

  Fuck man you're so god damn keen on missing the point, aren't you? Nobody's saying the climate has emotions. You're not going to fix anything without convincing people do act, and its more likely that you can convince people to act if you can connect with with on an emotional level, rather than just tell them the facts and saying what needs to be done. We've been telling people the facts for years and it's not done shit.

    I am not missing the point, fixing the climate has nothing to do with emotions of people either. All a politician has to do is present a real solution, and you will have lots of support. That hasn't happened yet. It wasn't hard to get people to stop littering, because the leaders did something about it, and the followers followed. It's a leadership issue, not a follower issue. So stop blaming the followers, and blame the leaders.
