I got this idea to promote climate change awareness via a PSA...

remember those BASF commercials, "we didn't invent the computer, we made it better"

the PSA would show videos of Katrina, Sandy and Harvey and say, "we didn't make the hurricanes, we made them worse" in the same cheery upbeat voice over. followed, by the text "climate change".

just a thought.

And he made a valid point.. Objective scientific study predicted the eclipse.. people believed it and it happened. Objective scientific study predicted Hurricane Harvey, people believed it and it happened.
But when objective scientific study predicts climate change, "some" people dismiss it.. The first two we cannot change, the third we can..
Some other agenda is at work here... follow the money...

I emailed CNN and suggested they need to make time in their 24 hour news streaming to add a daily segment and weekly special on reporting and therefore educating people on Climate Change.

I remember when they did it for overpopulation and industrial pollution. Both worked. Americans stopped having so many babies and we can breath the air again.
