2. It is sad that it is real but reported as isolated stories. Fire here. Flood there. Over 100 there.

I saw one quick documentary that flashed all of the climate change catastrophes in a cascade for a few minutes and that made an impact.

But our reporting is so influenced by our not wanting to accept that we have already moved past the mild scenarios of some drought and some floods and some fires, to lots of them all, reported one by one.

It is way too late to be fracking instead of rushing out with all the solar and wind we can, as fast as we can.

Frenzied fracking which uses up too much of our dwindling water suppy and poisons some of it too. Yet we pretend that it is helping us toward energy independence. Instead of pulling us further into more pollution and less clean water.
