I disagree- global warming is a fact & so is our diminishing water supply. I'm pretty educated about this stuff. We will be feeling the effects in our lifetimes- we already are - but even if we wouldn't, what about future generations??? Most countries are ahead of the US on this matter.
I worry about this all the time, but considering that my panic/anxiety issues will literally kill me if I don't keep myself together, & everyone on this board has the same problem, we can only do what we can as individuals to help & give us a sense of control. Not everyone is going to care or do what they can to help if they aren't required, so it's up to the gov. to implement laws, & they could use some pressure. So I just do what I can to be a responsible, good person- but I don't watch shows like that b/c I already know! I'm not familiar with the program, so I don't know whether or not it was science fiction, as someone wrote. I certainly hope that other people (who don't suffer from anxiety like we do) don't ignore those programs, though!
