There’s a difference between the beliefs that we hold as individuals and the reality of the world we all live in together, and though they’re different from one another, that doesn’t mean they can’t still exist together. See, science is objective - it doesn’t matter what you think or believe, it is happening regardless and we know so because we can do repeatable experiments all over the world and get the same results. It’s how we know about things like gravity, or the process that brews the beer you drink, the combustion of hydrocarbons that powers your truck, or the illumination of pixels on the screen that you’re looking at right now. Beliefs on the other hand are subjective, varying between each person or group of people.  We each can have our own differing beliefs about things that can’t be proven either true or false with our understanding of reality and still exist in the same space together, and yet science will still exist here, based in the reality of the world that we share. Yet you can’t pick and choose which science to ‘believe in’, it doesn’t work like that. You can’t believe in the science that uses the combustion of hydrocarbons to power your car, but then not believe in the same science that shows how those processes release molecules that alter the atmosphere, because that’s all part of the same thing happening here, in reality. When the subjective beliefs that you hold overpower your ability to recognize the objective facts of the world we live in, then you’re no longer living in reality, you’re living in a fantasy. So regardless of whether or not you ‘believe’ in it, climate change is happening, the science proves it to be so, and it affects all of us living here in reality, so let’s set aside our differing beliefs to look at the facts, and let’s work together to actually do something about it. 🌲 Nerdy About Nature is a passion project that relies on support from folks like you!
