So why is it, that our world is so slow in taking action to save our planet from pollution?
1. Corporate and multi-national greed at all costs.
2. Greed of the wealthiest 1 or 2% in the U.S. at all costs.
3. Corruption of Republicans and Democrats because of massive election funding by corporate interests (particularly those corporations who stand to lose if environmental laws tightened up - coal, cars, oil, asbestos, agri-business, etc.).
4. Huge ultra-right wing conservative media machine pushing anti-climate change agenda (among other things).
5. George W. Bush putting his corporate, polluting pals or their lawyers or lobbyists in key environmental positions and putting environmental law back 30 years.
