  I would even go so far as to say that the controversial thing is not
what to do about it, but that many people actually oppose the rational
thing to do. "We should stop polluting our environment and depleting
natural resources." I don't even understand what rational reason there
is to oppose that idea. Is reducing pollution somehow a bad thing? Even
if there was no climate change and everything was just and absolutely
fine, we should *still* reduce pollution.

  Pollution causes harm to humans. That's a fact. The only controversial
thing in this whole thing is the people who want to continue polluting
the environment.
