"altering" was a poor choice of words on my part. However, I believe you know what I'm referring to-namely the reduction of fossil fuels in our atmosphere which most scientists agree is the single most contributor to the warming of the planet. The problem is we don't have the will to move forward on this goal because it will affect the bottom line of the very contributors to the problem. When I use the word "we" I mean it globally. I want the freedom to dive in clear oceans that are alive; I want the freedom to breath clean air and eat healthy food; I want the freedom to ski mountains that are covered with fresh snow. At bottom is the unadulterated desire to live on a planet that is not dying at a geometric rate.
I suspect we are at an impasse.
