    Global solutions aren't reliant on "look at me, look at me" localists. They require solidarity. That you show none tells me you're part of the problem.

    No, what is pathetic is no one is fighting the global threat of AGW , so far, it has all been empty words from the true believers.

    True. Despite the consensus, we sit on our hands.

    NASA is not the majority, like uneducated morons are in America.

    Did your socioeconomic position make you a retard or were you born that way?

    As a socialist, I find this comment repugnant.

    There is nothing anyone can do now...the methane is releasing and ocean albedo has tipped over into warming. The expected Ice Age axial tilt and orbit indicate has been prevented and atmospheric/ocean warming have been forced....all we can do now is buckle up for the ride.

    Multiple sources and observation. Not that it even matters because if deniers are right we need not worry and if I am there is nothing to do anyway.

    Well, except to talk about your experience which I respect, You seem to be pretty conflicted between the labor you do and the people you meet with in this subject. I'm a DEP ( department of environmental protection, which is an EPA supported state agency) certified in erosion control contractor. I would conservatively say that few here have done as much with heavy equipment in erosion control. I also served as a medic during the Vietnam War. I have a Valid POV as far as the military commitment to this topic also.
    If you worked with federal agencies, you'd know they are all totally committed to the concerns of global warming. Let's not talk like you don't know why these regs are in place to begin with.

    This guy doesn't have a clue how far reaching the mission of NASA is. Long range climate conditions are a huge concern for a plethora of industries which make plans decades into the future. That's obviously the military, obviously agriculture, obviously EVERYONE. NASA is a vital resource in climate conditions for much of the industrialized world.

    You must be losing your balance bending over backwards trying to defend Monsanto’s role in providing a herbicide that caused untold deaths and suffering. To be blunt, you’re incorrect about the main ingredient in Round Up being benign as well. It’s not as biodegradable as you keep saying. And yes, it does have harmful effects.

    In other words you do nothing about the global warming "problem" except chastise those who don't believe it's a problem and remember you asked the question of what a real environmentalist is. I merely answered your question and used myself as an example.

    Well not exactly. You all seem pretty busy typing with your hands and calling anyone who doesn't believe as you do every derogatory name you can think of. Other than that yeah you do nothing but scream the sky is falling.

    Stop taking positions that the educated community ( and EVERY major institution in the free world) completely disagrees with you. The less informed you are, the less you value education and science, the more wrong you will be. This is a biggy and a world wide phenomenon. We can’t afford to listen to ignorant people who literally guess at outcomes.
    The last thing you would want is to have all your doctors make decisions according to the wishes of Faux News and not science.
    The AMA is on board like every other major institution.

    If it's such a huge problem surely you have made some big changes in your life to help solve it. What were those again?
