The Thing With Global Warming Is!

When it comes to global warming, there seems to be some folks who agree we humans are partly to blame, we're contributors. Nearly all climatologists and scientists are in this group. Then there's a part of Americans who agree global warming is taking place but don't believe humans have anything to do with it. Then there's the last group, who don't believe global warming exists at all. This last group mostly also believe the world is about 6000 years old and therefore there has never been ice ages or a land bridge between Alaska and Asia. All of this is fact. The thing is, for the first two groups, we have a problem brewing. Now throughout our history as a nation, in fact throughout humanity's history, we have always worked to mitigate the effects of natural disasters. Until recently there was little humans could do to stop or reverse disasters. All we could do is fortify ourselves against it. Cold winters meant building warm homes. Flooding meant building on higher ground, and so on. But now we know that pollution at least exacerbates the problem. Well, guess what? We have the means to curtail most of the pollution we create. Hey good for us. Now we can cut it out and maybe save the world as we know it, right? In fact, by now we're well on our way to doing just that, right? Well actually, no. Now to be fair most of the countries in the world are working on it. But several of the largest countries aren't. And a few countries say that unless these biggest countries do it, they won't. So how come America won't? How come we're one of those biggest roadblocks? Well see, that third group? The group that doesn't believe in global warming at all? Well right now, they seem to hold the power in Washington. Even though they don't hold a majority anywhere. They've got everyone else buffaloed. Ya now, even kids know it makes sense to help stave off a bad thing if you have the ability to do so. Or at least try.
