Worse still is the effect of the "other" greenhouse gases producing toxic pollution that is killing vegetation. The NYT reported that at a minimum, NY, NJ and CT this fall have declared agricultural states of emergency due to crop failure, which most people blame on excessive rain. But the same foliar damage can be found on trees and annual plants in many other regions that didn't have high rainfall. Not to mention that emissions are responsible for cancer in humans.

Without the press to acknowledge it's fiduciary responsibility, stepping up to the plate and start reporting, (educating), in earnest, I guess we sit around and wait for S*** to hit the fan. Oh boy... Where are you NYT ??? At what point do you realize that you have a duty to humanity. You might even make yourselves relevent again in the process.
