Dear Ignorant and Stubborn Conspiracy Theorist,

this is not a conspiracy

polar bears’ homes are disappearing

african elephants’ water is receding

and yet some (you) choose to ignore

the fact that it’s happening

because it’s not global cooling

it’s global warming

because holding a dripping, white snowball in your hand doesn’t mean that climate change isn’t going on

because it does have an impact on humankind

because there is something we can do about it

because it will affect you

it will affect everyone

because this is a major problem

not an insignificant problem

apparently all of this is still not enough for humankind to see

what is happening to our world

and do something about it

so here's to a day

about not guessing which animal will go extinct

your unwillingness to care will be our downfall

best regards,

josie p.
