"Too true, Crop. Addressing the issues we can address must be the priority, regardless of what we think may be coming. And, as both you and Ethnoob point out, ignoring the situation or choosing to be a non-participant in trying to rectify things is part of what got us where we are and a greater part of why it is difficult to implement measures and changes. This is all assuming climate change is at least predominantly anthropomorphic, which is what I believe. And regardless of whether making the changes we think needed to fix it will work, actually making those changes can only result in a positive outcome for Earth and her biome.\n\n\n\n\t \n\n\n\n\tFor my mind, looking at it from a different angle, perhaps we should ask why we are having so little success stopping the things we know are bad for the environment? We know burning fossil fuels is bad and we have alternatives, so why haven't we stopped? Even the commercial (corporate) fishing industry knows overfishing the oceans by dragging kilometer long nets scraping along the ocean floor is bad, not just for the environment, but for them as well. But they haven't even slowed down. Mining, oil drilling, fracking, forest destruction, waterway contamination, air pollution, industrial agricultural practices... all these things are detrimental to our environment, but no one has been able to get them to stop.\n\n\n\n\t \n\n\n\n\tPerhaps, unless we identify what it is which is stopping us from ceasing these practices and making the changes we need to make, finding and implementing solutions will continue to be difficult. I may be wrong, but I tend to think if we address this problem first, we will be able to look at climate change from a greater distance, and better realize it's \"big picture\". If it is anthropomorphic, I suspect we may find a relationship between what the main cause(s) of climate change is/are and what it is preventing us from positive action. There is an equal chance I may be off the mark or completely wrong. \n\n\n\n\t \n\n\n\n\t \n\n"
