I spoke up
recently
about a disturbing trend
in the climate change community.
It had to be said.
And I suspect changes
WILL be made
due to my comments.
But I was immediately
cast out of the community.
I know how people are.
I knew when I spoke up,
I would be kicked out
of the group.
No one likes
to hear an uncomfortable truth.
We tell people
“Don’t kill the messenger”
but the messenger is ALWAYS punished
…eventually.
I felt standing up
for what was right
was worth it.
Know that if you point out
a wrong,
you likely WILL be
punished for bringing it
to other people’s attention.
Do it anyway
but prepare for the consequences.
