Take this planet you silly white child, your forefathers effed it up just for you!
Here are two fairly recent articles that struck me as particularly important as of late. The first, from the New York Times, is about the Montreal Protocol, a piece of climate legislation, which pushed for the elimination of CFCs (a propellent which is extremely harmful to the ozone layer) upon which there was unanimous international agreement. The treaty was passed during the Reagan era. WHAT? Yeah that's right, even the fucking Reagan administration was down. Let's see if the current international regime can modify the treaty, and help to crack down on the use of ozone-damaging refrigerants. It'd be a relatively easy way to buy us some more time climate-wise. (Side-note: if you don't believe that human beings are doing sufficient damage to the global climate at the moment, you should return to your daily dose of FOX News propaganda, and go fuck yourself).
