I don't think people are having a hard time understanding it. The problem seems to be that all the planets in the Solar System are warming, and that anthropogenesis has not been proved. There is good evidence, but not proof. THEN there is the matter of making individuals suffer when we are not the biggest part of the problem. Industry is. So it turns out not to be a matter of green vs. denial, us against them, so much as it is a matter of, again, overthrowing the perfectly-informed powers who are not only ignoring it, but making it worse... on purpose. So long as each of us identifies as being on one side or the other of this issue, all is lost.
He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder. —Albert Einstein
