This is the thing here. It's all of this alarmist crap that's turning off the population. The most recent poll of millennials says that they are turning toward the climate change religion, but only because they're still young and gullible.

Back in the 70s, the roadsides were trash heaps. My father would just roll the window down and toss his McDonald's bag out the window. Now days, the medians and roadsides are mostly clean. Why? Because there was a campaign to convince folks that it was just the right thing to do to clean up after ourselves. They plastered the Indian-with-the-tear ad all over the place and people listened. Not because they were worried about some imaginary cataclysmic ending to the world...

...but because it was just the right thing to do.
