To believe or not to believe

Today I found myself in a state of silent rage and sadness as I listened to a fellow classmate of mine. She’s smart, ambitious and very quick witted.

This is the second time in a month a girl like this has broken my heart.

These two women have one particular thing in common: Neither of them believe in global warming or climate change.

In fact, not only do they not believe in global warming or the serious effect it has on the quality of life for humans and animals alike (or what is yet to come), but they believe it’s just a marketing or conspiracy hoax thought up by left-wing scientists.

Yes, ladies and gentleman, psychadellic-mushroom-loving hippies have disguised themselves as scientists (thousands of them), and are using conspiracy tactics to convince us to “Go Green”.

What I wanted to scream and yell each time they told me this was that “NO!” It’s not a matter of “belief” or “disbelief”. You wouldn’t tell Newton you didn’t “believe” in gravity, would you?

What finally silenced my inner hippie-conspiracy-loving tantrum was remembering that more often than not, in cases such as with these two women, it often comes down to misinformation and a lack of education surrounding the topic.

Folks, I hereby do solemnly swear to use my communication skills in the public relations field for good…Scout’s Honor.

Moments like this give me hope in my chosen career path. It’s a phenomenal thing what marketing and public relations have the ability to do if used in a responsible and ethical manner.

To my fellow “non-believing” class mates, I beg you, READ about it. Listen. Keep your eyes open.

Here’s a little video to get you started.

P.s.

At the risk of sounding like a total wacko:

“Endgame: The problem of Civilization” by Derek Jensen. I’ll even lend you my copy.
