The Climate Change Paradox

[SoutherDem]

12. What does it matter?

Well, as far as really solving the problem you are right. On that you and I are in complete agreement. However, when anyone states it is a hoax and they happen to be an elected official it give fuel to the hoax message, when the George Wills make claims as he did this morning it adds even more.

I hear people quite often use as there proof that climate change is because someone from the floor said it was a hoax. These are people who don't understand the science they just have a notable person to quote.

As an example on a difference subject. Two scenarios;
1. I am gay, but lets say I am not an activist. I don't really support the movement to gain the right to gay marriage other than saying it should happen, I don't march, I don't donate, but I don't go around saying we shouldn't have the right to marry. I am not helping the movement but I am not hurting the movement. I am passive.

2. I am gay, but I don't feel gays should be allowed to get married, I donate money, I march, I do all I can to prevent gay from getting the right to marry. I am obstructive.

Neither are honorable positions but at least one isn't dragging the movement backwards. That was and is my point.


By the way, just so no one misunderstands. I am gay, and I do support gay marriage in an active way. Those were just examples.
