We have come very far since the birth of our civilization in many ways, and especially in the past century. There's no arguing that. But 0.5 degrees Celsius (not Fahrenheit) is actually a lot when you take into account the effects that it can have on our planet's climate system. And I think the grand total now since the onset of the Industrial Era is about double that. Yes, we need to use our planet's resources more sustainably. No, we cannot just sit idly by when there are people who are doing things like destroying our forests for profit or making money off of fuels that are causing the disruption of our planet's climate. In order to ensure our survival, we cannot allow people to use our planet's resources unsustainably, that's the bottom line.
