Global Warming....Conspiracy?

I know this sounds like more wackiness from the interweb, but give this a chew. There has been much squawking of late regarding global warming. Every day, it seems, another pseudo intellectual celebrity is out there talking about global warming and how it spells our doom and that not eating meat or not spewing tons of filth into the atmosphere can help avert a disastrous future. Sometimes, the noise comes from the other side of the fence. Right wing assholes like Rush Limbaugh insist that global warming and environmentalism is a new commie plot to redistribute wealth. Even Neal Boortz ( I hope I spelled his name right.)..a guy who says a lot of unpleasant, but true things, calls global warming a scam.
In all this hullaballo, no one has devoted much time at all to wondering why there are so many nasty chemicals in the water or why so many kids have asthma. Instead, the big show gets all the attention. It seems as though the wedge issue has chained itself to any expression of concern for the environment.
We all know that temperatures have been trending upward since reliable records have been kept, but we haven't been keeping records for much more than a century. As for reliable, global data, that has only been possible for a short while. The entire hypothesis that human activity can be directly related to a dangerous warming trend might be impossible to prove. Impossible, especially given the fact that the current administration has had almost eight years to hamstring almost any research that might have been done on the matter. So...the outcome is this..
Can't prove that stinky old coal plats make it hotter? Fuck you, get out of my way! We'll keep on building them just as filthy as before, because we have the free market on our side. Can't prove that reducing emissions might keep the big ice shelves where they are? Screw you, we'll keep on building them like we did back in the 80's. It's cheaper for us and that's what the people want. When it all comes down to it we'll blame China and India for all this stinky smoke, even though they're making stuff for U.S. companies by our standards.
When you raise a fuss, they talk about cow farts and volcanoes to try to make any objections look ridiculous.
Meanwhile, we know that the rain is dissolving ancient land marks and we can see our streams and rivers becoming so filthy that the medicines we ingest start showing up there and that toxic chemicals are in places they never used to be. We can see more and more asthma and some kinds of cancers. There is a spot in the Pacific Ocean about as big as Texas, that is literally choked with mountains of floating plastic garbage.
Still, all our energies are devoted to figuring out how hot it's going to be and why. We are fighting a war for the future, but we are fighting the wrong battles. What we should be fighting for is air we can breathe and water we can drink and land we can live on. And we'll never get anywhere if we don't stop talking about the weather.
