If the threat is as serious as some people say, we should be doing everything to stop climate change. If we all knew that, unless we took drastic measures, we were going to die in 2030 because of climate change, I think all of us would be willing to sell our homes and cars and move into a small apartment and just use our golf carts. We would be willing to stop traveling and we would be willing to stop eating meat. When the Davos crowd gives up their private planes and embrace vegetarianism, I will know that it is serious. Until then, it is so much hot air.

Only The Rich (Or Fools) Can Afford To Buy New Cars Today
hummm, so all we need to do is watch for that Davos crowd to change their way of life hu ? Guess we have a long long long time to think about all this then...LOL ! Doubt those folks are going to be changing those jets for electric ones...LOL ! Why is it always the poor huddled masses that are required to re-use their toilet tissue....
