Everyone who mocked Jimmy Carter back 50 years ago when he preached to ween us off fossil fuels back in the 70's. When Reagan got elected, the first thing he did was remove the solar panels from the white house. He chose a Vice-President from Texas who was connected to the oil industry.
Look, combating climate change now is nearly impossible. It will take 50 years to reduce the effects. It certainly won't happen overnight. And it most certainly won't happen when the most powerful nation in the world has a climate change denier at the helm.
As we place blame in each instance of devastating hurricanes, floods, draughts and wildfires, the seeds of our demise were sewn long ago, back during the industrial revolution and the invention of automobile. But those folks can be forgiven, as they were ignorant to the damage they were causing. Not so much the folks in the seventies and eighties. They knew better and refused to act, mocking those with the foresight to see the danger.
