I totally know how you feel on this issue. Global warming is a serious topic and people are just ignoring the problem cause they think it doesn’t affect them.

Here’s what I want to know – does global warming somehow diminish the Right Wing religious majority’s faith or something? Is it easier just to cry conspiracy than have to change any of your daily routine, even if it means depleating natural resources and making our habitat unlivable?

Apparently, the answer is a resounding “yes”, which is what you get when people believe everything the controlling political party tells them – religiously.

It’s so weird how the Republican party’s stance on this issue has changed recently from “No way, it doesn’t exist,” to “It might exist, but it’s too much money.” Honestly, it’s the consumerist culture that’s causing global warming… everything has to come in individualized packaging and be completely disposable. No one want’s to reuse or clean out their cleaning supplies and get biodegradable, non-harsh chemical cleaners. I think the scariest kind of people aren’t those who think that global warming is a hoax but those who understand the consequences of their lifestyle and yet still don’t change.

I cannot believe that some people think Global warming doesn’t excist!

Everything is about global warming these days. Even my dad started talking to me about saving everything. Including turning off the 40-watt bulb on my room, and I had to tell him my lil brother was there so I didn’t do it even before he told me so.

I really agree with what you said. Every person has to do their part because we are all living in this world.

Agreed! The funny thing is it seems to be too much to ask people to be somewhat considerate of their fellow citizens, much less the environment. It can’t hurt to care, even if it’s just in a small gesture or two.

That’s what I have thought as well. Like how can people just not care about the place where they are going to bring their children? HOW hard is it to not throw trash into a forest but save it in your car until you reach the first trash bin. Those spoiled people just annoy me, really.

I have to admit I was one of the people who had to see The Inconvenient Truth before I realized what a big issue global warming was becoming, and it’s unfortunate that it’s not being taken more seriously. I thought it was hilarious that your boyfriend’s teacher thinks the whole idea is a conspiracy. Regardless, people should definitely start caring more for their environment. :(

I’m with you :) It’s annoying because people these are just too lazy to do even the smallest things to “save the world”. They just don’t realize that the world gives us many things. We live in this planet, it provides us everything that we need… and those are the only things that we need to do in return, in order to preserve the Earth. A person who does those things can make a real difference. And hey. Who says global warming doesn’t exist? It does! Why do people deny it?

I agree with you on the laziness of today’s society. Seriously, take the whole trash step furhter and recycle things that can be recycled. Ugh. And I don’t think that the apathy comes entirely from conservatives and repudlicans. I think there is a large amount of liberals who are all talk and no action… or just don’t even care. Global warming exists throughout the entire political spectrum, i don’t care who you are. I think its just ignorance… not party choice.
