Environment & Energy

doing anything globally cooperatively about global warming. It takes years to see benefits from applying remedies, to then seeing any actual changes in our climate. I spent the better part of my college career (1978-1985) studying climate change, and possible and necessary remedies to affect those changes. Scientists have been working on this issues since the 1970s, or earlier, and you can see how far we've gotten toward remediation, or even slowing the problem. Finding solutions to the issues of pollution and atmospheric warming are hard enough, but then trying to get 75-80% of the world's countries to agree to them is nearly impossible. We knew most of the causes and answers to the issues over 50 years ago, but you can see how far we've gotten in doing something about the problems. As long a BIG money is pulling the strings we have little hope of averting ecological and economic collapse.
