23 years later and we still are not addressing the total problem.

I don't use the term "Climate Change" because it allows for doubt that humans are causing Global Warming. Just because some people can't understand the concept of averages isn't a reason to abandon the correct term Global Warming.

I don't know if the terms, or whether or not humans are even responsible, matter. The earth is clearly warming, and accelerating in doing so. I don't know how or why anyone would be allowed to make any argument against doing absolutely everything we can to increase our chances of survival universally. That should include changing any remotely possible effects that human beings have on the subject, as well as all future responsibilities we are currently ignoring toward the ecosystem. I'm not even a major environmentalist. It just seems really obvious, and gives me zero respect for the rest of humanity for how they blatantly march toward oblivion on this planet because they're still making a quarterly profit.
