Why do People Deny the Science Around Climate Change?

climate change, nature

I’ve been having a bit of a back and forth with a fellow blogger in the comments section of one of his posts in which he states with all kinds of authority why rising sea levels are not and never will be a problem. He is not a scientist of any stripe, so I’m not sure where he gets his information, but it matters not because it is not only bogus, it also makes no sense. I should know better than to argue with these guys because there is no logic in their belief of a mass conspiracy to, well, I haven’t figured out what they think the reason is for such a conspiracy. I’ve been accused of being a loyal follower of a cult (?!) because I believe the science that shows that climate change is a real threat. I find that assertion bizarre, but whatever. So in honor of Earth Day (a day late) I’m sharing this beautiful video. It is a lovely poetic piece. I certainly don’t expect it to change the minds of those whose heads are so firmly in the sand on this issue, if they don’t believe the science, a poetic rapper certainly won’t convince them. I just think it’s lovely and wanted to share.

Beauty in the Mist

beauty, spring

It has been very dreary in my neck of the woods of late. Always threatening rain, with very little sunshine. I know it is spring and we need the rain. But it seems like weeks with cloudy skies and just a bit of rain. It’s wearing on me to be honest. Texas is supposed to be sunny! At least most of the time.

But this morning as I was walking to my car on the way to work, on another misty, gray, rainy day, feeling a little blue, a bit of beauty caught my eye and I just had to stop and take a picture. Raindrops on a spiderweb surrounded by the most luscious green, and that one little thing gave me such a boost. I hope it does for you as well. Happy Spring!
