RE: Trump is a lot greener than you think he is
It does not much matter what you believe the problem is, or what name you want to give it. The solutions are still the same if we want to pass on an inhabitable planet to future generations. Extracting and consuming fossil fuels is leading us to pollute our air and water. Unsustainable agriculture and livestock practices are destroying the arable soils. The proliferation of disposable plastics is despoiling the environment. There are alternatives that we can implement now, with technologies we have at hand, or that we can soon develop with some forward thinking leadership. Mr. Trump is dragging us backwards, when we need to move ahead with everything we have.
It matters because the solutions are dependent on human beings 1) truly understanding the issues 2) having the power to meaningfully act / skin in the game and 3) getting fulfillment from their actions.
As you can see, focusing on a big scary abstract like global warming is hard to relate to on all 3 points. So we are rabbits in headlights, while we should be focusing on the real issues that if we solved would make the global warming idea irrelevant.
I'm not sure if you read the article or just the headline...
