Non-beliervers (GW, pollution) help, how can I stop caring about the planet and be a non-believer like you?

Question

It hurts to care.

Answer 1

I believe that people harm the earth and pollute but not to the scale of  man made global warming. Al Gore said it's the "general consensus" that Global Warming is man made . It wouldn't be the first time in history that the "general consensus" was wrong. There is other science out there that suggests other answers to whats going on.  Weather patterns have been known to go through cycles and change dramatically for very long periods of time. Civilizations have been wiped out from it in the past. There is proof  of changes and cycles dating back long before man was burning fossil fuels.

I think only time will tell to solve the debate.

I am however, happy to see people becoming proactive about conservation. We shouldn't pollute we should conserve. We should do everything we can to make sure our children have clean water and clean air.

Just because I don't agree with the causes of Global Warming does not mean I don't care about the environment.

Answer 2

Awwww!  I know the feeling.  It IS terrible to believe in something so much and then hear people just say that it is all made up or that they only care about themselves.  I often feel like it's a hopeless battle.  I once even cried at a party because my friends were bashing environmentalism (and we were all drunk...)

Buuuut, here's the deal...for me at least.  I actually teach environmental science.  Most of my students don't care, but, occasionally, some start caring.  My friends might not believe in global warming, but I've convinced them to buy energy efficient lightbulbs and recycled paper products when they can.  Not to mention the power, you have as an individual.  You can do all sorts of things...even just buying eco-friendly products is helpful.

I think it's the really small things like that that can really make a difference.  If being an environmentalist means that you can change one persons mind, it's totally worth all of the frustration.

Answer 3
