Sometimes I think we get caught up in this notion that somehow the people presenting the problem or the cause should be capable of providing us with solutions. These people have basically dedicated their lives to documenting nature, they're not going to have solutions that the researchers who basically just try to answer the climate change question somehow missed. It kinda feels like we're mad at the ad guys for Chevy for not knowing how to build a car. That's not their job. People act like "raising awareness" is some futile notion, but like, you won't force change if people don't care, and they won't care if the don't know. Obviously there are plenty who know and don't care, but knowing is still at least a prerequisite for caring. And regardless of whether you think it's a "noble" calling or not, it is still a task which requires a team of dedicated and knowledgeable professionals in a host of fields, and a serious time commitment from all involved parties. When exactly are they supposed to find the time to solve global warming?
