Coping with Climate Change

Have you confronted the consequences of climate change? Have you coped with the idea that your lifestyle may be harming the planet in ways that could have devastating repercussions? Even if you doubt the severity of it, is it worth the risk to test mother nature?

The answer is probably government, not corporations. Time and time again government has needed to step in to regulate corporations that were harming the balance of ecosystems. Sometimes corporations step up to the task, but it's not always enough.
