RE: Our Burning Land.
If you can do something to help with problems in another country then I agree, it should be done. Unfortunately, getting distracted whining about them when they're beyond your control doesn't do much good, especially if it's distracting you from doing something useful in your own country. That is what's frustrating me at the moment. Everyone's so busy arguing over who's fault it is and whether or not you should believe climate change is real, even if your solutions are the same. It would be great to see people move beyond that and see whether they could actually do something helpful. No two people are ever going to agree with everything, so it would be nice to see them focus on what they do agree with instead of trying to make everyone into an enemy.
This is what I've been saying for a while. Do I believe in human-caused climate change? Yes. Do I particularly care if everyone does? No. Why? Because I'm betting everyone still wants clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, not to die in wildfires and floods, etc., etc., and the solutions are the same. Whether you're against fracking just for health reasons or also climate, as long as we're fighting together, it's all good to me. Arguing about how we must all have the same reasons is just what the billionaires want, as they laugh all the way to the bank as we delay stopping them.
This. And it's not only the climate change. Every bigger problem ever. Smaller problems sometimes too. There are those who believe the first thing they have to do is to find out who was responsible of this all. Who started it. Who's fault.
