EmpowerTheOcean’s Emma Websdale Writes on Climate Change

Emma Websdale, a talented young writer from the UK, publishes a blog post almost every day on EmpowerTheOcean.com.  Here’s her recent piece on climate change that I deem to be her single best post yet. As I pointed out, figuring out how to inspire people to care about this subject is not a piece of cake; in fact, I wrote a short post on this myself just the other day.

What makes this an especially thorny challenge is that an estimated $1 billion is spent annually in an effort to convince us that climate change isn’t real and/or that no action should be taken to avert it.   It’s perversions of democracy like this that hold us back from progress in this all-important arena.
