What is more important than “education” on climate change, is to understand world weather patterns, the implications of heat absorbing concrete spanning cities (and thus making temperatures more extreme in the summer in the city), and how to be better stewards of the environment as a whole. This has nothing to do with climate change, rather an overall effect that we are having on smaller ecosystems.

There is a difference, for example, between an environmentalist and a conservationist. The environmentalist will stand by and watch a forest be overrun with disease and infestation for the sake of letting the environment do what it naturally will due… even though forecasters agree that the entire forest is bound to be destroyed by a record breaking wildfire… The conservationist will support maintining a healthy forest by way of thinning out dead or infested trees, and ensuring the lasting existance of the forest and it’s habitat.

The Democrats approach the issue of the environment like environmentalists… with idiotic ideas and delusions of some utopian lightswitch that makes it all better.

Those of us on the Republican side who are environment-minded seem to have a much better approach… rather than scaring the masses into believing shaky science, we take action to clean up our local communities through organizations such as the Audobon Society, and we pass on the importance of conservation to our children through outdoor activities like hiking, biking, and hunting.

Bill Ritter has the right intent, but is he ever off base?
