So we read, we study, we communicate and we try to find responsible leaders. Sometimes though I say to us, good luck with that.Judy Kruegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11632346091869688862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-119606661973714282020-02-15T22:40:16.639-06:002020-02-15T22:40:16.639-06:00Willful ignorance about climate change and what it...Willful ignorance about climate change and what it is doing to our planet is extremely frustrating. As long as some people get their guidance on the matter from right-wing politicians and/or from Fox News, such ignorance will continue to be a problem.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-78354950114451341572020-02-15T20:37:52.222-06:002020-02-15T20:37:52.222-06:00The news about Antarctica is especially troubling....The news about Antarctica is especially troubling. Why can't people see that Climate Change is a real thing? I hear so many people say, "Well it used to be 'global warming' but you couldn't get that to catch on so you changed it." My response is usually, "well yeah, because climate change encompasses far more devastation than scientists previously though existed, so..." But they still don't get it. Our planet is dying.Sarah @ All The Book Blog Names Are Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507006809241347635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-70620502175522768592020-02-15T08:42:43.509-06:002020-02-15T08:42:43.509-06:00Like so many problems facing us, I think controlli...Like so many problems facing us, I think controlling it is mainly a matter of summoning the political will to do so in many instances. Those in charge often don't understand the urgency or, in some cases, don't give a damn.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-86632420646166991892020-02-15T05:50:47.029-06:002020-02-15T05:50:47.029-06:00Poaching wildlife is one of the most despicable of...Poaching wildlife is one of the most despicable of all activities. To satisfy their personal greed these unscrupulous people deny everyone else the chance to see and enjoy the animals they destroy. It makes me incredibly sad that we seem to be unable to control this scourge which is affecting so many creatures around the globe.David M.
