Doing It For The Millenials!

IF YOU SIT DOWN and actually listen to some climate scientists, any of them will do, and there are tens of thousands, as they describe the amount of carbon in the atmosphere, how it got there, and the effect its having on the environment, right before our very eyes, there is no frigging way that you can still deny global warming-climate change. It just too simple, too obvious. So, one must conclude that those who deny it have quite simply never ever listened to a climate change explanation-lecture by any one of tens of thousands of climate scientists, chemists, physics professors, and for that matter high school science teachers, any of whom would be glad to explain. Because, really, any step by step explanation of what's going on with the human species, global warming, and the planet Earth is easy to understand, and incredibly persuasive. The deniers, terrified of any threat to their pleasant little conservative universe, are simply hiding their brains in the sand, ostrich-like. Some charismatic Carl Sagan type needs to put together a video lecture, explaining climate change, step by easy step, the absolute inevitable fact of it, so that we can all get on board with the horrible but ultimately unavoidable truth, once and for all, and maybe, just maybe, actually start to do something about it, before its too late for the millenials to enjoy a long life. We baby boomers are lucky; we're gonna get out of here just in the nick of time, but woe be to the millenials (those born between 1982 and 2000), and their chances at decent weather and long term survival. Its frustrating. Thirty years from now the conservative climate change deniers will of course deny having been deniers, just as they now deny ever having been racists, for example. But by then, it'll be too late for it to matter.
