Doubt is a challenging psychological condition. how long are we able to endure doubt?
how strong is our need of certitude? how can we overcome doubt or disbelief? is it through faith? is it through ideology? is it through the human nature and drive to reproduce and fight for the survival of humankind?
Let's consider the current debate on climate change and its expected impact on our planet: can we bear not knowing the exact impacts of climate change in the near future? do we deny global warming and climate change because we are afraid of its uncomfortable consequences? are we taking the necessary steps in the reduction of CO2 emissions to prevent the earth's surface temperature to increase beyond 2° C? or through our own psychologic defense mechanism, are we rejecting scientific or visual evidence (retraction of polar ice caps and glaciers, hurricanes, floods, drought and desertification in Australia and Africa) and thus fall into inaction?
