Doing your part

Everyone wants to feel as though they are doing their part in the fight against climate change. First of all, nothing short of a monumental, global effort, regardless the cost and who pays for it, will be necessary to simply delay the inevitable. So, if boycotting non-local blueberries in Winter gives you a warm fuzzy feeling, then go for it. While politicians posture, the door is quickly closing for effective action. At some point, bigger decisions will have to be made, and not around a bargaining table. The sooner you take it out of the politicians hands and turn it over to the Department of Defense, the better. If you look back at the evolution of climate related articles in the NY Times alone, you can see how quickly the topic is heating up.
