Some people are denying the COVID-19 pandemic and the climate crisis despite most of the world's experts confirming that these are real issues that affect all of us.
Most, if not all, experts across the world have confirmed that climate change and COVID-19 are real issues that affect all of us; however, this doesn't stop a small percentage of people from denying the issues. I don't understand how people could seriously believe that each and every expert is giving us "fake" data and lying to us and even their own families. If this was true, then someone would have leaked the "big secret" by now.
The root cause of misinformation is mostly political extremists; for example, UKIP, conspiracy theorists, and far-left and far-right activists. This is why these groups are unpopular, not because most people are "woke" or "asleep".
Scientific data and research has proven both climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic to be two real issues that affect anyone living on this planet, including: me, you, and everyone else. This is why I feel that politicising health and climate issues is wrong. If these issues are made political, then people are far less likely to care or trust the experts. Politicisation of these issues also makes experts' job to deliver accurate information to the world more difficult.
Climate change and COVID-19 is no-one's fault, so no-one should be blamed or punished for them; instead, we should work together to tackle them. You can do your part by just respecting yourself and others.
