(According to a report published this week in the British medical journal The Lancet.)
Fast action is needed
"The report also states politicians who fail to act to implement changes and tackle those issues is at the core of the problem, and that the technologies and financing methods to address the problem exist."

I've been combating denial for several years before I can even get to do something practical. Now here it is...
"Improving air quality and burning less fossil fuel could reduce respiratory diseases, the report found, while walking and cycling instead of relying on cars or public transport could cut traffic accidents and reduce obesity, diabetes, stroke, and coronary heart disease rates."

I wonder what Jesus has in mind. Politicians and Christians don't believe in climate change. Maybe Jesus will play his revenge for the world being so dumb and evil. Right, he needs to drop this species and apply his great plans in another planet. Yes, yes, there are plenty of planets out there.

Due in part to the effort dedicated to the gods.
Has anyone thought they may be the true gods?

I don't think there's a single strategy to fight climate change other than making frugality the "in" thing.
If we launched a campaign against wasteful behavior the same way we attack tobacco, we would be able to win this fight.

Jesus denies climate change because he says only he is real.
