Environmental Responsibility Means Dealing with Apathy and Distraction
I have the thought expressed in the meme here constantly. In addition to catastrophic climate change, we have the retrogression into fascism and tribalism, genocide and mass starvation, all of which receive a small fraction of the attention we pay to professional football and the country music awards.
Craig,
The answer lies within your question !
While people might be interested and even concerned by the effects of pollution and climate change, they are not willing to accept hysterical claims of “imminent fascism and tribalism, genocide and mass starvation”.
Do you really blame people ? After all only a decade ago “scientists” and activist advocate pundits, like yourself, were shouting loudly the sky was falling and “imminent fascism and tribalism, genocide and mass starvation” was about to occur due to “peak oil”.
A mere decade later and we are in the middle of an oil glut with gasoline at an all time low of $2.60 a gallon ! The US has gone from being an importer of oil, to a major exporter.
You can only call “Wolf”, so many times before people simply turn away and ignore you.
