To the editor:

While global warming has been a concern for many, many, many decades, some things are for certain:

1. Never before have there been billions upon billions of humans polluting planet Earth.

2. Never before have there been billions upon billions of gasoline-burning vehicles spewing pollution into the atmosphere.

3. Never before have there been billions of homes demanding energy from polluting sources.

4. Never before have there been billions of buildings demanding energy from polluting sources.

5. Never before have there been billions of polluting energy-generating sources.

6. Never before have there been billions upon billions of humans supporting the clearing of the rainforest for food products not knowing the long-term impact of removing massive numbers of trees and medicinal plants.

7. Never before has planet Earth been expected to absorb tons and tons and tons of pollution with human beings having no idea what the impact might be.

8. Never before have there been billions upon billions of human beings believing THEIR pollution is having zero impact. Can we say ignorance is bliss?
