Unlike Australia and Canada and Japan, and it looks like Russia, who all seem to be giving up the fight. China seems to be moving forward too. I wish I could be as positive about the future as you are Beach Bum.

Aside from some state and local efforts anytime Obama mentions climate change the idiots, morons, fools, and those in the oil industry go into fits.I actually have some long-term hope for us Homo sapiens, despite ample evidence to the contrary we are a decent and moderately intelligent species. Though, in the short and medium term things are going to get real bad.
