A Quote by Charles C. Mann

Climate change is not a discrete issue; it's a symptom of larger problems. Fundamentally, our society as currently designed has no future.

But no matter how big the effort to push a propaganda line might be, climate change is bigger. This, undoubtedly and regrettably, is the biggest immediate long-term environmental challenge we face.

Climate change is not a major issue because it will cause sea level rises or temperature increases, since we know how to live at higher elevations and regulate the temperature within our homes.
