In the modern world that exists today, people's views are often dominated by media. Some might wonder how people can tune out what they hear on TV almost every day. Virtually everyone is aware of climate change and global warming but very few tend to act on the numerous warnings that they receive. I'm sure that there are many reasons for this but at the same time I'm sure that if the worst of global warming were to happen their reasons will seem like nothing.
The reason that many people tend to ignore global warming is that taking significant action would harm their daily lives and possibly the economy affecting everyone. They would have to lower their pollution and maybe even have to buy an electric car in the future. People would have to turn to cleaner sources of energy. They would have to change their lifestyles and recreational activities to something more friendly to the planet. You wouldn't see any more Ferrari's and Lamborghini's and air travel would change drastically. And worst of all, because of all these major changes, many large companies would go bankrupt and the result would be millions of lost jobs and entire countries losing there main source of income. Some industries that would be severely affected are mining, automobile manufacturing, the food industry because many would turn to locally grown things instead, and many other very large sources of jobs and income. All of this might be avoided if we acted soon and stopped denying global warming. Even if it can't be avoided we would eventually recover a lot easier than if the worst of global warming were to hit us.
You don't have to be a genius to figure all of this out. Many people already know this, so what allows them to keep a blind eye to global warming? The single largest reason if you ask me is hoping that the issue will be resolved by others. That they will let others sacrifice large parts of their lives and just watch on the sidelines. If a single person did this it wouldn't have much impact at all. The problem is that every human being has to get over the fact that sitting back will only lead to failure because many others will do the same. Power comes in numbers. We won't change anything unless the entire world agrees to do their part because the first word of global warming is global, not local, not national, not anything else. If the world instead turned a blind eye to the skeptics and deniers, they would catch on too.
If you're still not convinced take a look at this video and forward it to others. Even if one person has their opinion changed or influenced it will make a difference.
Like you just heard, you can't be certain whether global warming is real or not, you can only choose how to act. The best thing that anyone can do to make a difference is to convince others to lower their emissions and change their lifestyle for the benefit of the world. For significant action to happen, you can't sit back and hope for the best. If you are serious about wanting change you can write to the government and start your own blog to research this issue further.
