However, the extent that they bring this issue to the forefront is the extent to which the world benefits. Like those in the Maldives, or even Miami. I fear that these oceanic nations will be under water before the Floridians admit that an underwater Miami is not a good idea.

Such is the problem with climate science. It is called denial, funded by those who want to continue climate change for profit .

Just so some "middle class" investor can buy another status symbol, take another vacation or live out that one life at a country club. A life of nothing but waste, of reckless consumption, of using up all of it for themselves. A death sentence for most life on this planet, and to add insult to injury, you can still find some who say they care about animals.

Ah, but as usual, throughout history, one can easily justify standing with evil. "Hey! Everyone else is doing it!"
