I have seen climate change, and it’s pretty bleak. The evidence is pretty overwhelming. I have seen it, personally, and have heard about it, first hand, from those who are studying it. The evidence that has been amassed over eons is overwhelming.
Climate change doesn't matter, by itself. It, along with everything else, irrefutably demonstrates that humans are drastically affecting our world – from the streams that now run dry every year in the Salt Lake Valley, to the mass floating garbage whorls in the ocean, to the loss of habitat, to erosion and garbage heaps in our mountains, to the loss of wildlife species (especially large mammals and apex predators), and to the night sky over the earth. It is dense to assume that five billion daily fires, set by humans, would not have an effect.
With my own eyes, I see the human effect everywhere I go. I, also, personally contribute to these effects on the environment; yet still, I take conscious effort to reduce that impact. However, it is impossible to do so alone. Government, with the sound hand and input by both conservatives and liberals, must heed the call for a balanced march into the future.
Moreover, the "remedies" that many policy makers suggest (that a few minority voices trumpet, who are afraid they may have to make adjustments in there own lives, bizarrely see as some perverse effort to ruin everyone's life) are better for us as a community, state, nation, and world – economically, environmentally, geo-politically, culturally, religiously, and spiritually. It is astounding to me that many of you exhibit extreme ignorance and “oblivity.”
Even if the science is wrong, which it is not, the remedies suggested by climate change experts will preserve and create value for all.
