That is not the point. Most people do believe in global warming. Most people would like to help stop it. Most people care very much that they do not destroy the environment and the planet...….

However, industrialization has halved poverty and hunger since 1990. (Please Google) For us to stop or slow down the amounts of bad stuff we as human beings produce as we live our lives and remain alive, we would need the combined efforts of more than a third of the world. That will NOT happen.

I am realistic.

The difference between some of us and others of us is that we know that there are some problems that do not have a valid solution. At this time.

Throwing money at them may make us feel better.

I'll save my money throwing toward a realistic answer to this huge problem.
