Here is more evidence from this year alone, that global climate change is occurring. We need to be paying attention to evidence such as record melt from Greenland's ice sheets. If we don't make enough noise, there are too many people who will be affected by the accompanying rise in oceans levels, and they will be caught by surprise. Yes, yes, the evidence has been gathering and those of us concerned about the threats of global warming and climate change have been sounding the alarm for more than 4 decades. We still need to sound the alarm. We cannot grow weary, because we are the only ones willing to accept reality and come up with the ideas to combat the damage we've done. But, we need to get the majority of citizens to accept the evidence and accept the need to implement the ideas that will be the most productive in softening climate change's blow.
A few days ago, I wrote about a similar situation with rising sea levels and the damage that is already occurring around the globe. According to some recent studies, we are going to see a lot more of the upheavals that will be caused by man-made climate change, and we are going to see it sooner rather than later. Again, we cannot grow weary in our effort to enact change. It is a tough road, but it is our obligation to ourselves and the Earth's future generations.
I hate that a lot of what I write about is harsh, gloomy, and doomsday sounding. I hate that those topics take up more space than the happier tones of seeing progress. The fact of the matter is, however, that nearly half of the people in this country do not believe in global warming. Yes, they don't believe in the evidence that has already been produced. What makes me think they'll accept the emerging evidence? I don't know. I guess I just can't see why people aren't grasping reality. I know our capacity as humans and as Americans and it disturbs me that we are not addressing the issues. Maybe, I bring up all this gloom and doom because I'm trying to rally us as a base to make sure we don't lose sight of what we want to see done. All I know is that this is going to continue to happen. We are going to continue to get more bad news until we stand up and make change happen. I want to see more good news than bad, but we have to be the ones who keep the ball rolling until it can roll on its own.
