I gather some people still don't accept the scientific evidence about climate change or don't think human activities play a part.
The evidence is really beyond reasonable or any doubt so I think that is simply wishful thinking.
Either way why would you not want to stop the abuse we impose on nature every day?
It shouldn't be a political issue, although it has been turned into one.
The main opposition comes from those whose profits are related to polluting the earth and who don't want to cut into profits to stop.
This is similar to the cigarette manufacturers who argued their product wasn't dangerous just to make some extra money.
They mostly got away with it and the victims who suffer from or have died from lung cancer and other ailments are the victims.
In this case we are all going to be the victims of the changing climate with admittedly varying results.
Certainly our coastal communities should be the most concerned but heat waves, fires and droughts might impact many areas as the temperature keeps rising.
We shouldn't be rolling back regulations, we should push harder for clean air and a better tomorrow.
We need forward looking leadership, not ones trying to switch into reverse.
