But the origin of climate change denial is the fossil fuel industry, who are absolutely in it for the money. They've bought off politicians and gotten right wing media to peddle their propoganda.Whilst that may be a conclusion that sits well with the enlightened and the comfortable I am going to challenge it on a number of grounds.
And clearly I make this statement as one who is thoroughly convinced by the evidence and do believe it is part of our sacred duty of custodianship of the planet to try and move public policy so that humankind is on the right side of the ledger when it comes to the Environment and Climate Change.
- It is merely an assertion and the reality is we need to know more about the individual circumstances of someone opposed to action on climate change.
- It rings very thin when someone on say 30K has to listen to people on 250K telling him his motivation is Greed while he/she may well simply be struggling to provide food and shelter for the family, and is looking at policies that make this harder not easier. I did indicate in an earlier post that I felt this was more a reflection of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.
But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
