Really, not many seem to give a damn about the imminent danger they face.. Even if it is an issue that is poised to become one of the biggest man-made catastrophes the world has ever seen. Call it disinterest, ignorance, apathy, ego, lack of money-making opportunities or anything, this almost total “I-don’t-give-a-damn-ness is almost criminal. The…
