I attended the climate change program at Brenau University on April 12 and was not surprised by the emphasis placed on man-made global warming and the earth-ending consequences that follow if we don’t act to reduce CO2 emissions. Images of children were used to convince the audience that we must act immediately to save the Earth for them and future generations. Fortunately, I was spared the picture of the polar bear floating off in the distance clinging to a small piece of polar ice.
