We Didn't Wait

While the narrative is US-centric, it applies to Canada just as much, and the campaign includes Canada.

To be honest, part of me is sick of the endless awareness-raising -- I want something to happen. But the "something" I want, large-scale governmental action, will only happen when governments are convinced of the need in order to keep votes. So this serves a purpose, just like the tiny changes we make like switching light-bulbs. One change can't stop global warming, but millions of changes will.

It's tricky to find the truth when there's so much disinformation. Yes, both sides (at the extreme edges) are full of shit. However, the situation can accurately be described like this:

- thousands of climatologists say X.
- hundreds of climatologists say Y.
- tens of climatologists say Z.
- the media reports each equally instead of proportionally.
- the climate change deniers seize on Z, they misinterpret Y, and they spot typos in X, and muddle the conversation even more.

I'd love some actual references for your climate model complaint. I've read accounts of climate models that use empirical data (actual weather from 1900 onward) and sometimes match and sometimes underestimate warming. The IPCC predictions have already been shown to be not strong enough compared to weather in the past decade. But the media screws up the science in almost every story, making it impossible to really understand.
