It doesn't take a degree to surmise that pumping our environment full of noxious gas is a bad idea.
Would leave your car running in the garage with the door closed? Earth = Big garage with lots of cars. That should be easy enough for anyone to understand
Then you get the "but it's only 0.04%, a small amount compared to the atmosphere".
Take an aquarium, fill it with water and add 0.04% of black ink. That's 8 drops per liter or 36 per gallon. And the whole thing turns hazy.
You would think. Ugh. It makes complete sense to me, but these big picture things are kinda lost on many. There is a lot of angry, and confused people in my part of the world. In the end, I can't blame them, as they're apart of a larger system with the same mentality, and many have never been given a chance to see outside their own survival within that system. I can try though, and hope. Part of me feels the climate deniers are just that. In denial.. about their own place in the world, but do feel these consequences in their bones. Some are just outright selfish and really don't care.
