Meet an internet troll

[Warren DeMontague]

42. There's a lot of denial.

I'm at the point, with that issue, that I think arguing with folks like that is just a waste of time. That guy obviously tuned out the minute he saw Al Gore on a movie screen connected to the words "global warming". Even if one DOES convince them, it's not going to net effect a ton of change. Maybe that's defeatist.

Personally, I conserve, I splurged on a ton of LED light bulbs when they finally came to Costco (which did actually make a noticeable dent in the power consumption), we're on a 100% renewables energy plan (fortunate in that we're one place in the country where we can make that decision)... compost, try to reduce the impact as much as possible. But the whole problem is a lot bigger than that.

I feel like we are inevitably going to bear the brunt of some large climate shifts, even IF (big IF) the human race comes up with some sort of technological hail mary pass in the next couple decades along the line of scalable fusion power.

In the meantime, though, that PopSci article is a decent read; like some interesting stuff about developments in solar energy, which has really made some amazing strides in recent years.
