Yea, I really don't care about what happens to climate as a result of actions of human impact. I do want clean water and clean air. And be responsible for the immediate environmental impact that can be measured and solutions provided that actually work. But beyond that, I won't be in a panic mode until a series of volcanos, asteroid, or nuclear war enters the picture.

Uh, don't you get it? It is relevant to the US. You've just witnessed the Fairness Doctrine in play. You can split hairs but thats whats in the current US government politic right now. It's highly relevant.
