Oh yeah, when it became all the rage to talk about global warming.

It's the new secular liberal religion.

Your ignorance is showing. Might want to cover that up.

A tiny bit of research would reveal that we've done a great deal to address acid rain and ozone depletion, and been quite successful about it. The ozone hole is large, but the Montreal Protocol has been a great success, and the prediction is that by mid-century, the ozone layer will have healed itself.

Regulation of pollutants that cause acid rain have also been successful. Though acid rain is still a problem, the mobilization effort worked, and we're on our way to recovery.

Once you baptize a person, you move on to the next door. No need savin' what's already been saved. I'm not saying we should be complacent about ozone and acid rain, but we have laws and agreements in place that are addressing those problems, and there's already been improvement. It's wise and prudent direct your mobilizing efforts to problems without solutions in place, like global climate change.

The cry of the ignorant will always be the same: "You're a zealot, just like you were back in the day." Yep, and back in the day we did some good. In fact, those fish you like to catch, they're healthier b/c of our zealotry. And your skin cancer? Yep, you would have already died if not for our zealotry. Your kids too. You're welcome.
