This podcast deals with two topics:
1) Real Bravery
2) Climate Change
Really brave people stand up for an opinion under political, social or cultural pressure which can potentially destroy their lives.
For example, take the early Abolitionists who spoke out about the evil of slavery before the US Civil War.
Abolitionists in the 19th century espoused views considered radical as far as their society was concerned and they paid a price for this – sometimes with their lives.
When you do what is popular and easy – when you conform – you are not being brave. Instead, you become a lemming. You join the crowd and follow it where ever it leads…
Now, when I read about the Palestinians in Gaza who are actually sacrificing their lives for the cause, this point is even more clear.
Then I discuss the recent United Nations study about how eating meat is causing Global Warming.
But human caused climate change is not settled science by a long shot…
Listen for the details.
