56. Actually, the people who can do something about it are us

There is so much attention given to legislation and summits, in the end there is a LOT of low hanging fruit that every day people can pluck and make a significant difference. Like I posted, living your life mindful of you impact is the first step, and is really not that hard. If everyone made small positive changes in how they impact the world it would all add up to massive change.

Fundamentally this is my biggest problem with the whole "Global Warming". It's become more of a religion that people blindly follow without truly understanding what is going on. All a politician has to do is say something is to stop Global Warming, and they get huge support. All a celebrity has to do is say something is about Global Warming and masses of people pay attention or buy a ticket to their movie. All an organization has to do is commit to Global Warming and they get lots of money and support.

If you want to pay attention to someone who gets it and minds his impact because it is the right thing to do, not because it is popular or will make him money, pay attention to Ed Begley Jr. Unlike Al Gore, who is an enormously wealthy hypocrite, Ed is passionate about his impact and lives his life accordingly.

If the people paid less attention and sent less money to the celebrities and politicians about Global Warming they would have more time and resources to put towards their own personal impact, and THAT would bring about positive change.
