I would recommend all in this thread give "Cheaper, Faster, Better" by Tom Seyer a read. This book has a liberal air, while I am a fiscal conservative republican (not a "Trumpian" 'flat-earther', nationalist, or handmade tale dreamer - never have been or will be... not all 'Republicans' are the same. These days I generally don't vote republican due to lack of sane options. F'ing painful and horrific). [Just wanted to provide context for who was making this statement] Disclosure aside, as anyone with two brain cells can see, the world has been snookered by the oil and gas industry and their kickback Trumpian-like Lackies for decades (old puppets same as the new). Seyer discusses the history of all of these topics, and additional similar ones, raised above fairly well (acid rain, LA smog, UK smog, etc.). The biggest idea Seyer conveyed to me, that I wish was just a leaflet air-dropped accross the US is that Climate Change activists are preaching to the choir when they state that we need to reverse climate change because it's irreversibly harming the planet. They need to instead focus primarily on the human harm due to extreme weather (towns, societies, crop lands, god forbid ocean front property) that polution/carbon emissions are causing. I couldn't agree more. It's like you have to point out how it's going to affect 'these people' directly, specifically, in their lifetime, for it to even register. We are North American Scum. Unfortunately, common sense is a rare commodity these days. The internet gave too many selfish ding dongs a podium to preach to and 'unionize' other selfish ding dongs. OK, this ding dong is off his podium. Sorry (but do check the bood out)
