So massive amounts of air pollution is totally a-okay with you then?

The legacy you want to leave your children with?


I wish the 'climate change' debate was not so linked with the 'pollution debate'. (They are linked, but far from the same thing)

How can activily and aggressively reducing toxins from air/water/earth be a bad thing for the earth/people? How can encouraging sustainable lifestyles be a bad thing for the earth/people?

Our own ~100 years on earth is such a tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny fraction of its total existence yet we are justified in straining its ecosystems in virtually every way possible?

'The weather' (warmer or colder) is a single tiny reason air pollution is bad. Even if it is having no immediate affect, it is certainly going to have an effect over a long enough time horizon.
