Climate Change Denial and Skepticism

            This past week talking about climate deniers and skepticism has personally been somewhat frustrating. I think this because I feel like that the dangerous effects of climate change are not hidden, but obvious. I think that many of the excuses people make to blow off the idea of climate change are insensible and not well thought out. I did however learn that some people are simply not going to change their mind on climate change. I believe that people are entitled to their own opinion so that is fine, however, I do see it as a problem when people fight against the science of climate change. I say this I think because I understand the harm climate change could cause and how hard it is to say science is a for sure thing. I say this when I refer to the idea of climate change and the science behind it. I think it is too easy for deniers to twist the science and convince people who do not know much about climate change that it is not actually occurring. I believe that we see this in our world today. This type of twisted information is negatively impacting the fight against climate change and therefore is putting the world in danger. Next, when we see climate science being defended by religion I believe that most of the time the religion is not well enough interpreted to its members or perhaps the whole belief is not practiced. Finally, I think that this week was beneficial for me from the perspective of dealing with climate deniers and skepticism in real life situations.
