I don't care about politics so don't take this in a really political way, I just don't pay attention to them for the most part. I only care about things that I can see in my life and where I feel confident in my opinion. I have no idea how things will be affected if taxes are a little higher or a little lower or if some program is cancelled or gets more funding. For the most part from my POV that stuff doesn't actually matter! It's all just talk and somebody "wins" but my life is the same so why should I care??
So with climate change, I was a big believer! 99.9% of scientists are most likely right, doesn't that make sense? But I get headlines on my phone (sometimes I read the story and sometimes I just look at the headline) and it's like ping pong! It's like ...
Ice Melting Really Fast, We're Doomed You Guys
then
There Is More Ice Now Than 100 Years Ago LOL
then
Hottest Year Ever As We Enter Death Spiral
then
It Has Actually Not Gotten Hotter For 15 Years
then
Yes It Has So Gotten Hotter, by 0.1 Degree But It Is Totally Hotter
then
By The Way The Only Reason It Hasn't Gotten Hotter Is Oceans And That is Over So Now It Really Will Get Hotter
It has gone from seeming like an obviously big problem to me to seeming like a bunch of idiots arguing! I am tuning it out from now on! Most of my friends still care about it so I feel like a traitor kind of but I just really don't understand it and I have things I am more interested in thinking about like my relationship and my friends!

You are the smart one in your group of friends. Just tune it out.

Shocking headlines aren't science, shocking headlines are for selling newspapers and getting internet traffic. Predictions are just predictions, but visible affects are real, and that's what we can focus on.

Yes but I see people claiming different things and what am I supposed to do, fly to the north pole and look at the ice so I can see for myself?? It seems like there are a lot of details that ARE factual but the issue is that people interpret the details to end up with different basic concepts. I don't know who to believe and at this point I give up. Smarter people can figure it out I guess!

Edited by PuppyDuckMSB: 3/23/2015 11:40:53 PMLOL! Yes, I agree, but this is not my job or my passion. It is somebody else's job but it seems more like it's about winning a debate or getting the audience to clap for you and boo the other guy! I don't like when they make fun of their opponents either and they both do this. That more than anything is what's alienated me about it. By the way according to TIME, I will never have cancer thanks to my brother lol

The point is that we need to push for innovation and get Washington to stop catering to big oil by closing their loopholes and start looking to renewables.

Edited by PuppyDuckMSB: 3/23/2015 9:11:27 PMInnovation sounds good but is this even a real thing? I used to be sure but now it seems 50/50! I am going to bake something (not sure yet what) and watch The Voice tonight! btw Christina is going to win this year guaranteed!! You guys figure this climate stuff out and whatever you decide is fine lol.
