Comment Re:Global Warming? Feh! (Score 2, Insightful) 923

I've been watching this stuff for a long time, and the part that bothers me the most about this is that we've become so accustomed to giving everyone an equal voice that people become numb to issues. For better or worse, we are starting see intellectual insight and armchair philosophy as equally valuable and perspectives that carry the same weight. While I hate to read comments like Phaedrus' above because it's a position that's ruining our world, I can also empathize with his position. I'm sick of hearing the debate as well, but as long as there are those out there delivering disinformation about climate change, we need to keep up the fight. It's unfortunate. Luckily the corporate world is now onside with climate change. A recent article I read talks about how climate change has become a corporate priority, and describes a "perfect storm" situation where multiple stakeholders are doing the right thing (and not always for the right reasons). To me it's a fascinating development. So while it appears there will always be debate on issues that truly warrant none, there are other issues in the world that may force our hand for the better - even if they are corporate (or greed) driven. There's debate, then there's action - it's interesting to see that the climate's enemy may become it's greatest ally.
