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.

Musical Elephants

elephants, music

This video made me smile broadly and every time I think about it I smile some more. Elephants bebopping, shaking their booties and playing the piano. What could be better? There is more and more proof that animals are so much smarter and have such a capacity for joy and growth than they’ve been given credit for in the past. We must, must, must, make conservation of all animals a priority. Take a look at the video. You won’t be sorry you took the two minutes out of your life to share in the joy of these elephants!

What is the Definition of Beauty?

beauty

According to this video from Dove, each person, in this case woman, defines beauty for themselves. And I so identified with what this said. I had tears in my eyes as I was watching it, because as a woman I feel the sting of looking in the mirror and wondering if I measure up to society’s standards and believing that I don’t most of the time. 96% of women would not classify themselves as beautiful although 80% did say that there was something beautiful about them. I applaud Dove for bringing to light how the harsh way media, advertising and male expectation cloud a woman’s perception of herself from a very early age. While not every person is going to find every woman beautiful, because beauty is such a subjective idea, every woman should be able to say that they are beautiful and believe it. What did you think of this video and how women are perceived and perceive themselves? Let me know in the comments!

experiments, fire

I don’t know how or why people think up doing things like this, but I don’t care because we are gifted with really cool videos like this. Even the music is cool in this one.
