Funny how – with absolute, collective, knee jerk immediacy – we go right to the scientists to help steer us through the unsettling, dark reminders that we are all just riders on this mercurial and often ornery globe.
And yet… when it comes to the long-studied phenomenon of climate change, there are elements – I call them “rubes” for short - who consider these same scientists to be just flat out wrong, said disputation often spawned by no scientific background whatsoever.
Why the difference? The former requires no change of behavior; the latter is quite clear in stating we must.
