Q: What’s worse, ignorance or apathy?
A: I don’t know and I don’t care.
Jerry Falwell is decrying global warming as “Satan’s attempt to redirect the church’s primary focus” from evangelism to environmentalism. “Naive Christian leaders,” in fact, have been duped—DUPED, I say—by dirty hippies like Al Gore.
Meanwhile, Mark Morford has an entertaining piece on the 13% of Americans who claim never to have heard of global warming. Think about that. Tens of millions of Americans. Never heard of it.
Reality is just crushing sometimes.

Well in a previous post you claimed to know nothing about Mrs smith – I think this is the same kind of issue – just not the same scale of things.
Yeah, not the same scale at all. Anna Nicole can’t possibly have been referenced 1/10 of one percent as many times as global warming in the media over the past decade. And there’s the more subjective/judgemental aspect of paying attention to trivia vs. things that matter more than almost anything on planet earth right now. I think the scales are so different as to be virtually impossible to compare.
