Reducing Global Warming Angst

Each unit of petroleum that you consume, each quantity of food that you eat raised using artificial fertilizer, 
each bit of refrigerant released into the atmosphere, each dram of methane released by oil exploration or agribiz or the melting of permafrost and methane hydrate nudges us ever so imperceptibly closer to our global Armageddon. Increasing greenhouse gases increases their infrared radiation blanketing effect and, thus, increases the single biggest greenhouse gas, water vapor. We’ve been told this so many times that it has become an annoying background noise that we tend to tune out as we struggle with our daily lives. In the middle of the night, however, the creeping angst from our subconscious surfaces and the fear factor creeps up another notch in your psyche. Your soul begins to reach for answers, but your inaction pulls you down. 

If you want to earn the forgiveness of future generations, then do at least one thing each day to increase the pressure on business and political leaders to take action. One of the best ways to do this is to talk about the problems. Talk about positive things being done to solve this problem. Talk about how much money is saved by using renewable energy sources, etcetera:
