We all live on this planet and while many of us now lead lives that aren't all that connected to the natural world, we certainly are very dependent on it to survive.
The air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat are all dependent on it.
Of course most of the animals who live free are very dependent on the changes in climate.
We see habitats destroyed and species going extinct, and many of us don't seem to care.
Some of this is due to ignorance and some of it is due to arrogance.
We have been told that we were created to rule the world.
That God loves us and all things are part of his/her plan.
Others feel that there is a conspiracy of elite people trying to keep them down.
The logic of that is hard to understand, but its along the lines of the people who have everything don't want competition from regular people.
Usually these elite are framed as people who somehow profit off our troubles and control the media and the Government from behind the scenes.
So for some reason they are selling us on climate change because, well this is where the theory suffers. They want to control us but the reason is generally vague.
You can't trust the Government or media because some other guy tells you not to. Well since bad things happen to you from time to time he must be right.
It is much easier to believe that those things aren't your fault, that the world is controlled by others who make them happen.
Of course, as the water rises, and the weather deteriorates, it may eventually dawn on everyone that we are all in this together.
Lets hope its not too late.
