People trust too much in the information we are fed.
I've tried to say that nature has its swings-and-roundabouts, but ... yanno.
The only good thing about this 'global warming/clean up the planet' battle cry is ... cleaning up the planet! I say anything that motivates people to treat our Earth more kindly is a good thing. ;)
I suspect it's about taxes rather than cleaning, but earth will be back to the default state of ice age in 2000 years anyway and it will all be someone else's problem!
