Virgil Saari was an owner of a piece of land that had been passed on/down from generation to generation. I didn't speak with him much at the time. We both lived Minnesota and we only spoke about stuff going on in Minnesota at the time. I'm familiar with the area that he lived. As I recall, he was into selling cattle.
All good points

We can change some things now but whatever we do now will have little to no impact on the negative effects caused global warming. We've done our part. It's time for countries like India and China to do their part. China is pumping out raw coal fumes like we did during the 50- 60's and you're bitching at us like its our fault.
If you look at the percapita generation of CO2, the US is 10th, China is 59th and India is 118th. Both are huge countries with large populations, so their impacts are large, but China is already moving fast (intends to eliminate fossil fuel automobiles entirely in 10years, and is converting to solar much faster than we are). India is still too poor. They don't even have universal sanitation.
But neither is as large a percaptia offender than we are.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
