Why we may not be as interested in being involved in climate policy change:For one thing I think some of us as Black people don't get involved as much because a lot of us feel like what's the use trying to change policies on the climate when you have a government that wont recognize the need for changing the policies on hate crimes or will lynch my child or my brother for dropping gum on the street and won't act the same to my fairer skinned earth dwellers. When you have a government who will send out the troops to help victims of the tsunami but right at home you take 3 or more days to get people help in Louisiana and Mississippi.I am a habitual recycler, yet in my city it is so hard to recycle anything other than glass bottles, newspaper, and cans that you get too discouraged to give a hoot about the climate as a whole. I see the effects of global warming because I want to know about the earth and I want answers to why Katrina happened or why California looked like the sun's surface on TV! I want to know these things because someone came to my area to talk about the fact that if I don't do more to help the environment that in years to come, my children and my children's children might have to party with Bow Wow and Chris Brown in a plastic bubble, wearing eco suits and a gas mask. I believe that a lot of talk about the climate issues are talked at people and not to them. At times it's not relatable... What it will take:I believe it will take showing what the real effects are in the heart of the communities and in the schools. If, we are shown things as a reality and not a media ploy or a means to mask other issues in the world then maybe Blacks and other races might take it a little more seriously. Not to mention we have a president who is blatantly sending our family members to fight for one of the vary things that is polluting the environment once it is refined for consumption by the masses - OIL! In the reality of it all, yeah I am worried about the climate but I am worried about not loosing my home to foreclosure or my car being repossessed due to having just lost my job in an economy badly hurt by the cost of oil going up after Katrina, Ivan, Isabelle, Andrew and all the other negative effects of severe climate changes. But none of that hits home for some of us because we can barely change policies that directly impact us. So why would people think they could change climate policies that might cost the good old boys network billions in lost Oil revenues...
