Why People Doubt

I believe in global climate change, but I know there are people that do not. This week I wanted to explore why some people are SO certain that this is a huge hoax. Attached above is a YouTube of a segment by Glenn Beck making his case as to why global climate change is a hoax. 

After watching it I can see why the American public is so confused. They did name something that is a problem--the media's portrayal of global climate change. They make it scary and immediate. What is wrong with that is people just learn to be afraid. They also then expect to see the immediate changes (which in most cases the signs of global warming take time--and by the time they are here it may be to late). So instead of scaring people into believing in global warming, it would be better to educate people. Educate people both factually on how this is not a hoax, but also give hope that change is possible. Then start informing people on what they can do. The next step that should be taken is to have the public call for industrial and corporate change. Global warming (I'm sorry to say) is not going to be reversed by people recycling their water bottles. It is going to be changed when companies stop polluting the air with fossil fuels. We need to take care of our environment, but we need to show people why and teach them how.
