so what are they hoping for?
they are hoping that somehow, despite evidence to the contrary, it all works out in the end. thats what i am hoping happens too, for the enviornment.

I'm just saying that hoping isn't going to fix the problem, as far as climate change goes we need to seriously get more involved on all levels. No, I don't mean we should do every little thing that is listed at the end of Al Gores Film. Though I'll grant him that he does have some good ideas, oh wait they aren't all his ideas and not everyone agrees that he's the most indisputably the most knowledgeable person on this issue.

Anyway, what I am talking about is living more in sync with nature. Wait, hear me out before thinking I've gone hippy, I'm simply stating that we need to start living more efficient and reasonable lives. Leaving New Orleans where it is for example, is hardly reasonable and so is living so close to the coast.
Or polluting your water source for that matter. I mean the world is going to be facing a serious water crisis very soon, even more serious that what we're facing now. All because we'll realized too late that there may be billions of people in the world but that there simply isn't fresh water to go around. This will of course only worsened by climate change because you remember those glaciers that are drying up well a lot of people get their drinking water from them.
Overall, it benefits us absolutely to live smartly with the resources we have at our disposal, because otherwise we're going to suffer because of our irresponsible behavior. I mean water after all is the most precious resource known to man, and yet at the same time its probably the most taken for granted (at least in the United States).
Of course, asking for reason from the human race is maybe asking too much?
