Jim: That's a noble goal, but we have more pressing problems. I seriously doubt our citizens who are
dying of
hunger care about protecting
endangered species and preventing global
warming. Plus, it's not
scientifically proven that humans can even cause
irreparable damage to the planet.
George: Don't you see that the two issues are related? Due to
climate change, the rain patterns have
changed and our agricultural sector is not as strong as it once was. This results in food
shortages. It's
only going to get worse unless we end our dependence on
fossil fuels and start using
renewable
resources.
