I appreciate it.<br /><br />It is true that the tide is now, again, turning against drastic action to get global greenhouse gas emissions (and not just CO2) falling. This is due to the constant campaign of misinformaton and noninformation waged by senseless people who do not want to understand, and who don't have the courage to face the facts or the compassion to consider those already impacted by climate change.<br /><br />You make it sound as though everyone who decided to "believe" got sick of waiting, thinking it was all going to happen to them within three weeks of the day they "converted." <br /><br />The problem is that global climate change is not a question of belief, it's a question of understanding that increased global atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations can only cook the planet — it's physics. But (and I see this as a failure of the education field I work in), we are still not effectively educating on the problem. Most people, it seems, still don't understand the basic physics of global warming.<br /><br />How about this little truth, that "your" side doesn't seem to grasp: If you're right and we're wrong, our descendants end up with a safer, cleaner, healthier, more equitable and more peaceful world based on a perpetual-energy economy. If you're wrong and we're right, and we don't take the necessary action to avert global climate catastrophe, then your great-grandchildren will struggle for survival through droughts, crop failures, scarce drinking water, floods and wild storms, just like ours will. <br /><br />So, back to you. Why would you be so willing to risk progenycide when the action to avert it is a win-win for everyone but the very richest, who put a higher value on their profits and their wealth than on their own children — children who deserve a future, too?GreenHeartedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10920831217530325071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7406037264704298997.post-52000128984178687712009-10-05T10:44:27.542-07:002009-10-05T10:44:27.542-07:00Wrong!

It's true, the majority of the public are in denial but they are not "still" in denial. They were Believers until about a year ago, when they finally got fed up with the hype and fear mongering. So they have reverted to denial from the Belief side. The Greens have lost their credibility. Remember, Believers were the majority last year, now the skeptics rule. So if the Beleivers want to ramp it up, it's going to backfire. What you need to do is admit that there has never been convincing evidence that CO2 is causing the climate to change. A little truth would go along way to regain your credibility.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
