Please, Mr. Trump, take environmentalism seriously and start the process of ending the business as usual approach to polluting. And please, address all forms of unnecessary pollution. Thanks!

You know, human beings are not wired to care about abstractions a century or two from now; that truism is also why capitalism has been so effective, it appeals to immediate down to earth sense gratification. My point? Climate change; global warning; C02 pollution, or whatever you want to call it, is an abstraction that we’re not wired to deal with. Hence the failure of the C.C. movement! A pragmatic approach to the issue would have framed C.C. within pollution in general so that no one could deny it! Create a culture where all forms of pollution are taken seriously …..

A decent article from Forbes:

I think where Forbes is in error here is in thinking the Republicans care at all about pollution; let alone how to minimize it!
