Getting People To Understand Climate Change (good luck)

MORE AND MORE, it seems as if people are agreeing that we the American people, and for that matter the whole world, need a revolution. Discontent sweeps across the planet, and people like Donald Trump gain popularity. How could we not need large scale rapid change, when the sea level is rising up to flood out billions of coastal people and cities, and war, disease, and poverty stalk us as ever? Ask the people in Miami, Florida, Norfolk, Virginia, or the folks living along Chesapeake Bay or on Pacific islands. The water is rising higher. The climate changes all the time, and always has, on its own, naturally, bleat the conservatives, as if this fact, which everyone already knows is true, has anything to do with whether human beings are changing the climate, along with the natural changes. The fact that Earth's climate changes all the time, naturally, and the fact that many factors other than human activity cause climate changes does not in the least demonstrate that humans don't also cause climate change. Remember that. We humans have simply gotten into the climate change business a bit late, well behind mother nature, but late is not the same as never, and the fact that many other factors influence the climate makes our new human influence all the deadlier, more urgent, not less urgent, and very real, not imaginary. Conservatives often point to predictions made forty years ago that Earth was experiencing global cooling as proof that science is always wrong, and that global warming is also wrong. Quite the opposite is true, in fact. Changing from global cooling to global warming happened because science is self correcting; it repairs its own mistaken theories. The previous wrong global cooling narrative was proven wrong, and its replacement with global warming only serves to enhance the validity of global warming - our awareness of global warming arose from the process of scientific self-correction. That's why we need revolutionary change; to get people to understand that, and to get people to at least try to do something about it, for our grand children's children, if it isn't already too late.
