2. Any Way You Slice It, the Price of Denial Is Too High!!!

Even if you take the question of man made Climate Change out of the equation, the cost of environmental pollution by the Koch Brothers and their ilk is too high in the rates of cancer, emphysema, asthma, allergies, and terrible diseases and soaring medical costs too numerous to mention here. The next great American revolution - or world revolution, for that matter - is when we start caring more for the health and wellbeing of our citizens than the profits of a few billionaires. You can't eat money, and money will be no good after we've destroyed all the natural resources and fruits and bounty of the earth that you can purchase with it - and even those that you can't purchase with it, as the best things in life, like clean air, are free. Climate Change is a very real problem, I'm not denying that, but what these merchants of Climate Change doubt and denial have also succeeded in doing is using the whole Climate Change issue as a smokescreen to hide other, equally grave and serious environmental costs and damages - and that's also a price we can't afford.
