interesting view point, yet i disagree, having taken enough science and ecology classes to know better. 

politics is all about trusting people enough to agree to do something. and then agreeing on a solution. right now we cant agree enough on a large scale that there is an issue, because some people are being selfish and illogical.  also, governments act in their own interest. no help there.

so the way to address, imho, is to make changes for yourself, and your community. fund the groups who you think have the right idea. stop supporting groups like big business polluters and the government, who are shit talking the actual existence of the issue because they dont want to have to change their nasty habits. and lastly, start organizing into a collective that will take these jerks to court for polluting the air, strip mining public natural resources, selling off public water in tiny plastic bottles for profit.

thats what action looks like to me.

i think there are a lot of things we can do. I dont think nature will sort it out, unless its by killing off humans. not all of us are toddlers.
