The science is there. Most throughout the world agree that this is a real problem.
In this era, religion in the US has done damage to science. The political will in this country is not favorable to the acceptance of science or the findings of reputable scientists. The rejection of Evolution is a case in point.

The politics is such that the religious right is given too much credence over science.
Anti-Choice, anti-stem cell research, anti-birth control and other misguided superstitious
ideas have taken hold to the detriment of the protection of our planet.

Polar ice caps are melting. The planet is heating up because the oceans are absorbing
more rays of sunlight which cut through ozone layers that protect us. The world
is becoming more prone to deserts in Australia and Africa. The water table is rising
and the hydrologic cycle is creating cloud turbulence with flooding and radical shifts
in weather. Humans are causing this through CO2 emissions.

Most Americans are asleep on this issue. Humans have had a pretty good run in the
geologic age but may be digging the grave of their own extinction.
