>> Very few really care about the future of this planet.

I don't think that is true. I am the world's biggest climate change denier, but I do care about the future of the planet. I do, after all, have kids who will be here long after I'm gone.

I am far more concerned about bigger problems, though, and anyone who can weigh the threats to future generations ought not to see any man made threat to the planet is high up on their list. The Earth is, in reality, very resilient. It can tolerate a lot.

So, I care about it, but I don't want to spend a ton of money on it. A little research money, sure. But we really aren't in a position to make any real difference at this time. Maybe a future generation can.

What we CAN do is leave future generations in such a financial mess that no one gives a shit about the planet because they are more concerned about where their next meal is going to come from. And THAT is a very real problem that is coming up quickly.
