We can't save the planet, but we should do our part . . .

I'm tired of these happy liberal moral cries to "save the earth".

In fact, God has made the earth so resilent that it has taken colossal efforts on our part to begin to impact it. The earth has the resources to "save" itself, were we to act responsibly. It seems unconsionable that the US Congress has been so unwilling to sponsor serious legislation on climate change in the face a rising tide of scientific consensus that we (both humans, and disproportionately those living in the USA) are the cause. Al Gore and Joe Lieberman are among those lone voices who have spoken for and introduced legistion about climate change for decades. Now, finally, it appears that Congress is willing to make a move.

Great for them; write a letter to your members of congress to support this new seriousness.

anon, and peace.
