There is a gap between halfhearted action and the all-out effort that might ACTUALLY make a difference

“A Call to Arms” to many might seem as an irrational or exaggerated way of viewing the fight against climate change, but just as McKibben states in the article “It’s not that the scientists are alarmists – it’s that the science is alarming”. Though I am glad that this is a topic that is gaining more and more recognition with the global community many thoughts lurk in the back of my mind wondering and questioning how many people will actually go back to their home and do what they preach, how many people after the march will go home and make a changes in their lives in order to further the cause and how many people will go home and continue living their lives as they once did, leaving the cause in the backburner? According to the article a scientist from Princeton summarized the published work of many scientists as “we are all sitting ducks”. How many of us will go home and continue to be sitting ducks and how many of us will actually continue to work and strive to make a significant difference? Because as McKibben states “the gap between ‘We’re all sitting ducks’ and ‘We do not face a crisis’ is the gap between halfhearted action and the all-out effort that might make a difference”
