Climate Change is Second to the Real Reason

            Hans Rosling is a statistician who believes that the greatest invention in the world was the laundry machine. After his grandmother received her first laundry machine, she found enough time to teach him two languages. He is also the inventor of the gap finder, which gives the ability to compare different countries and their economic diversities. The one thing he measured as a statistician, informally, of course, is how educated the media was how educated they were on the number of children around the world who had been inoculated for diseases like measles. The result was that the media needed to be more informed than the general public, and less than 25% of everyone knew the correct answer. The information people receive is skewed by personal bias, outdated facts, and news bias. This coupled with a natural intuition, in part, is why we as a species are falling future behind even statically speaking, getting the correct answer by chance. The importance of being adequately informed has risen on the projection of economic growth is moving further away from the traditional western preconceived notion that has stood for generations. This means that to compete globally, a person needs to have the best possible information, and only being right 25% of the time will help anyone become successful. Going off this information, does it make sense to be informed of global changes? The only way this would not be important is if the projected plan was that human civilizations were not planning on living on this planet in future generations. The moral of this article is to look to the future for yourself and make decisions now for your children’s future.
