Black People : Ho-Hum oh well 5 reasons not to care about climate change

it's cute to joke when climate change hasn't affected a person personally.
I found this interesting blog. It is about the I don't care attitude people have about the California drought which is a product of climate change. People don't care because they are not affected by the drought. The author goes on to senseability write why we all should care about happens in California. It makes good reading.Hope it enlightens you.:thinking:

it has affected us in the US. most are too dumb to realize it.
You are right.In my region we broke records during the winter season of 2011-2012 with the warmest recorded winter in recent memory. Trees and bushes were beginning to sprout leaves in Dec 2012. We only had one major snowfall that was
on valentine day eve 2012 about 18 inches fell and it was all gone two weeks later because we went right back to abnormally warm weather again. At the beginning of March farmers had an emergency meeting they were concerned
about weeds that were staring already to grow and they were concerned it would later affect their crop staples.

We went into extremely warm pre-spring. Fruit trees in our backyard had blossoms on them by second week in March
That is the first time in my life I had witnessed blossoms on trees in early March usually this didn't take place until Mid -April. The weather went from very warm to very hot with little or no rain from the early spring until late summer.

We suffered from drought conditions. Most of the Midwest region did. The farmers crops dried up. Livestock suffered
We were warned as a result of this drought during summer of 2012 in the near future, meat prices would double.
They were right. The price of meat now in 2016 nearly makes me faint. A big portion of my grocery money is spend on meat.I have less buying power than I did four years ago. All my store items have to be carefully planned. I have little or no change left over anymore.

I know one lady whose sole income is Social Security she told me all she can afford to buy in meat is chicken. Beef and pork has become to expensive for her. I really don't know how families who depend on food cards for buying groceries
can survive. What will they do for food in the future as prices continue to skyrocket? You are right when you said climate change is beginning to affect us all but some of us are too dumb to see it.


This is just the early stages, what denial game will people continue to play as 5, 10 years on into the future as climate circumstances continue to worsen?
