So in the latest report on global climate change, the consensus is that global warming is inevitable and irreversible at this point. The only question left is how bad are we going to let it get? Unless we curb greenhouse gas emissions today we will be leaving our children with a vastly different planet than our parents gave us.
The truth? Unless we get a miraculous breakthrough in clean energy production, like… yesterday, we're in deep shit. It's amazing to me how short sighted and hypocritical our culture can be. We're so hell bent on the protection of our children at almost any cost, yet barely give a second thought towards the conservation of the world that we'll be leaving to them.
It's almost like we want global warming to happen.
