I'm also motivated by people who suggest otherwise. The naysayers. Those who are ignorant, and deny it. Those who are afraid, and deny it. Those who don't want to hear it, and deny it. Those who say there are more pressing issues, and belate it. The planet is in crisis. In a geologic sense, we are in a tailspin. Yet you still sit around and say poverty, famine and war are worse. Yes, you're correct, and I support you sacrificing 'a few extra cigars' to show this. But can you see how global warming can exacerbate what is already at stake? The poor, the marginalised, the hungry - they will become poorer, more marginalised, hungrier, the longer people such as yourself prevent action. Does deep poverty "effect [you] or anyone else around [you] know today in any real way"? If you say the Aboriginies, then maybe, but that's a weak argument, as they are not the poorest of the poor, who you do
not encounter on a daily basis.
