Talk like that invites complacency. There have always been and will always be stupid people, perhaps a little more than usual right now on account of the leaded fuel thing a while ago. But the true reason behind global warming isn't because of stupidity, but because of individuals who find it more important to make money rather than keeping the environment safe. Those same individuals who lobby and bribe to keep laws and taxes off of them.
