Hansen said current carbon levels in the atmosphere were already too high to prevent runaway greenhouse warming. Yet the levels are still rising despite all the efforts of politicians and scientists.

Growing your own food, and eating locally grown organic food only is the fastest way possible to clean the air, land and water because the average grocery store item has travelled 1,500 miles. That's just one item, and just an average.
