Your statement reads like "we haven't made all the progress, so we haven't made any." We have learned, if nothing else. We've learned that our carbon emissions, for example, have an impact on the environment, and many people are moving towards bettering that. It's not DONE, but to put on blinders and act like it's the same as it has always been is at best ignorant.
It's not what I said. You can call me ignorant all you want, but the truth is the F150 is the most sold car in north America, and the sales are going up each year. The vast majority of people who claim to be concerned about the environment are not about to change anything in their behavior. Flash news, Taylor Swift is worried about climate change. Unfortunatly, you and I riding our bikes and using paper straws won't be reversing the trend.
