The Misinterpretation of Climate Change
defthaa
Climate change as an imminent issue for current generation especially for human’s future has divided people’s perspective with the doubt of its evidences. Many of people are believed climate change is a thing which could possibly threaten their life and children in long term. Meanwhile the rest of the folks are being skeptical either because of the influence from eminent nor charismatic person or had doubt from scientists’ statements. Both of the sides have completely different lens to measure the world changes. However, climate change is a genuine challenge for humanity and we should not be denying of its existence. Need to be stressed, belief in climate change does not equal have a faith and get on our knees toward people in charge with world observation as if some of the conservatives when they received the headline of climate change.
Often times people in the right were arguing climate change is not one of the enormous matters in our society. I would assume, the rejection of the idea of climate change was coming from the connection between poor countries and the failed of environmental disasters prevention. Whereas, the catastrophes are also coming to wealthiest nations including United State such as flood, tornadoes and other hurricanes. In addition, flood in Saudi Arabia nor Spain were occurred recently in 2024. Consequently, there must be something wrong with our nature because countries with the least technologies to prevent climate disaster are being attacked brutally until the point it causes casualties. Nonetheless, it would be another discussion if those rich countries are more investing their money in military rather than uplifting nor preserving current environment. Despite the difficulties from climate changes, 47th President of United State wants to withdraw US from Paris Agreement which contained discussion on addressing climate issues. Therefore, the notion of certain people got influenced by enormous figure could make sense since President Trump is knowingly as a successful business man; Thereafter, folks are putting their trust to a ‘correct’ person who understood whether or not climate change is considered a scam. How ironic, they are advocating us not to belief toward scientists like we have faith in God, but simultaneously they want majority of people to lay their hope toward business man’s perspective. The same business man who got assisted by oil lobby.
American Petroleum Institute and Fuels Europe have contributed many changes in domestic policies regarding regulatory nor environmental, taxation, educational, public relations, and other attributes which particularly considered as threat(s) for their establishment. Oil lobby could also put people who have the knowledge in natural sciences such as scientists or a person who can be a representative; Thereafter, they will be elaborating and rejecting the allegations regarding the establishment's actions which could potentially harm current nor future generation. Moreover, those representatives are being paid to ensure ‘average people’ in order to control massive panic among youth and general people who are aware of the environmental changes. Nonetheless, oil lobby has the same accountability to maintain nor preserve nature and protect people around the places where the corporation has been extracting its ecosystem. Congo for instance, people are religiously digging for cobalt in order to get pay and fulfill their basic needs. Not only for adults, children who should go to school are bandwagon with adults near coalmine areas. Congo case is one of the issues which has been brought up frequently to prevent further casualties since miners could possibly get bury and injure. The mine workers are provided with zero proper equipment to mining cobalt. Instead of getting positive public opinion for bringing the disadvantages for people overseas, climate change activists are being demonized and bullied because of the methods they were using to promote its movement.
Consequently, other countries which saw their own Ethiopia within United State will possibly get influence with its actions. They will stop investing in climate change prevention and spend more in military. Especially, when US under Donald Trump presidency who has been labelled as successful business man. If climate change did not harm us whatsoever or even happen in the first place, then stable countries such as Saudi Arabia, Spain, and America specifically will not receive the destruction from natural disaster as equal as other nations got. However, people need to work on maintaining the idea of climate change as one of the constant reminder while simultaneously preserving current environment. We cannot see the world dozens or centuries ahead if we are cultivating in children’s mind regarding climate change is not an essential issue. Kids’ future is in our hand and it needs to be addressed as soon as possible. We cannot say we care about youth generation whilst denying the existence of climate change. In fact, when other people’s children are using their bare hands to dig some valuable materials instead of getting their educational rights. Meanwhile in the other fence, we have climate change activists are being labelled as if threat for certain people because the way they are uplifting its movement is unacceptable. But rest assured, those people who were demonstrating for climate change are genuinely care about domestic government and foreign people who did not want to go to school because of the temptation of getting money from digging valuable materials. Furthermore, the activists do not want their own hands and country for being complicit. Will the world guarantee a secure and healthy environment for our youth generation if people keep their silent of climate change issue.
The blocking of roads is often times associated with climate change demonstration who were trying to make folks aware about the threat for their children and other kids in foreign country. The pressure from medias and particularly on social media have created misrepresentation from the movement itself. People are mad since the roads they used to go to work are being blockade in order to warn public and government about what we are going to handle in upcoming day would be difficult circumstances for Gen Z and Alpha. Of course, preventing people to go to work, school, or somewhere else is obnoxious, but they have no other choices unless for being as controversial as they can since they are grassroots movements. In fact, will people start to attend and stop for a while in order to hear wholeheartedly about climate and environmental changes if the activists were held some educational sights. Although the movement itself does not completely perfect such as they are still driving their own cars in order to get to places where the demonstration will be held, throwing orange paint to buildings and historic portraitures, and using sprays to make people work 2 times to clean the signs; But we cannot prevent ourself for acknowledging those people who were got arrested and deported for putting awareness in our society are people who have been awakening massive concern about climate changes.
