Cycle of Silence: The Strange Case of Disappearing Environmental Issues

It seems like environmental issues are flying out the window. No one cares about them, when there are more important issues to mention. To a certain degree, I kind of agree. Media rules this world, or at least the United States and United Kingdom. The topic which media covers is the topic which people hear and want to know. Since media does not want to cover environmental topics, people think that these topics are resolved. Well, that is wrong. The article I mentioned also talked about similar ideas.  

• If the Green Party excludes themselves from the general elections, then that could mean all the environmental problems are fixed. 
• If the party decides to join the general elections, people will take notice and focus their minds on relevant issues.
• Simple as that...
  What Do/Don't People Care About:
  • People care about what is happening right now.
  • People do not care about what our lives are going to be in 2050 when "x" number of species have gone extinct. That is about 35 years from now. All our lives are going to change. 
  • People care about issues that have personal effect. (i.e) water pipe line burst in Pine Rd. causing huge amounts of traffic. 
  • People do not care about if Great White Shark go extinct. There is a stigma on sharks, thanks media. Imagine the top-down effects which will happened if Great Whites disappeared. 

  

  Here is everything you need to know
  
  Yes, environmental issues are decreasing, but not because they are being solved. This blog is meant to talk about the issues of the environment. Little by little environmental issues will become a wide spread topic.
