global warming unbelief
i dont think this whole global warming issue is a very tangible problem. in other words, people dont really feel it, especially in places like New England, with shorter summers and longer winters it doesnt quite add up. i also feel that people dont necessarily want to believe it. its an overwhelming concept and solving it would drain a lot of resources that frankly, i dont think people are ready to deal with.
