The main obstacle is the entrenched power of the legacy polluters.
Right now, the government is spending billions of dollars supporting the problem-makers in the U. S. economy - the polluters, despoilers, incarcerators, and warmongers.
I don't even consider myself an environmentalist anymore. I'm a free-marketer. I go out into the marketplace and I catch the polluters who are cheating the free market.
There are skeptics who do not come to their view because they have a source of income from carbon polluters. I don't mean to imply that they're all in that category at all. There are also those who are also not motivated by ideological resistance for any role of government. But I don't know of any arguments or any presenters of arguments that overturn the consensus that I think have gained any legitimacy.
There are many who still do not believe that global warming is a problem at all. And it's no wonder: because they are the targets of a massive and well-organized campaign of disinformation lavishly funded by polluters who are determined to prevent any action to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming out of a fear that their profits might be affected if they had to stop dumping so much pollution into the atmosphere.
Water is the most precious, limited natural resource we have in this country. . . But because water belongs to no one - except the people - special interests, including government polluters, use it as their private sewers.
Sanctions against polluters are feeble and out of date, and are rarely invoked
