2. My point is, "pollution" needs to be 'part' of the meme-topic.

Yes, it is problematic.

I think people don't understand "climate change". It is not mentioned enough in the news and especially with full reporting to explain it. Since we are a world of headline news and sounds bites; I am suggesting the topic of climate change needs to include the word/concept of pollution. Even air pollution from cars is something people can understand.

Oohhh, I see what I did there. The thread is about pollution VERSES climate change. Well, I guess I mean it needs to be PART of it.
