I should have made it clear with the post.

Climate change is not unreal, it is just blown out of proportion. We are polluting the air we breathe, the water we drink, and we are adding dangerous additives to our foods that end up in the natural resources. All is true. But the world is not ending tomorrow, in 5 years, in 10 years or even 50 years. We have just overblown it to the proportion of a hoax. A lot of falsehood has been propagated to us in the name of science. Our favorite Nobel Laureate crusader Al Gore declared in 2009 that the world will freeze in 2014. What happened?

Climate change is not above all other issues of the world above all other miseries like malaria, smallpox, immediate death by persistent hunger, diseases eradicated in Western societies, violence, infant mortality? What are we thinking? It is like saying increase funding to diabetes, fuck malaria in other parts of the world where children are dying within 24 hours without a very simple medication.

Climate change has become a rich man's priority because we have solved the basic problems like hunger, poverty, shelter etc. Our misery index is not high so we can afford to do expensive dog fashion shows. Human beings do not live as well in some parts of the world as we care for dogs and cats at home. We talk about diabetes and mental issues all the time. Who in Africa is thinking of mental issues? The rebels make children shoot their parents with their own hands with eyes open and make them join the rebel armies as child soldiers.

I am not buying the overblown climate change issue for a second but I am aware of our policies, behaviors... about pollution, contamination, chemicals, fossil fuel, GMO, artificial and preserved foods that have to improve. We must improve air, water and foods to make it more healthy for all. But climate change is not above all all. It is a concern but it is one of the many.

So, for a climate change denier, the globe on the left is just fine. And we shouldn't do anything to stop the transformation of our home into an unliveable hellscape.
