I remember when I was a pre-teen in the 1970's. We used to watch Jaques Cousteau's TV program, which was really good.
Then one day a big envelop came in the mail addressed to me. It was from Jaques Cousteau. It was saying that the ocean was dying, and all the fish would die and wash ashore, and with the ocean dead, the whole world would starve. Life would be over for us unless we stopped doing something bad, and that we should send money somewhere. This was before Global Warming.
When Dad got home I came running to him, all upset. I told him that Jacques Cousteau says that the oceans are going to die, and showed him all the junk mail.
I was shocked when Dad just laughed and said that was ridiculous. Cousteau is just trying to collect some money for his cause. The oceans are fine, son.
I trusted my Dad, and he was 100% right.
Too bad that my adult kids love me, but think I'm some kind of nutjob.
You got a really smart dad. It's nice you learn from him. Sorry it didn't transmit to your kids.
It's the same story with World Wildlife Fund. Used to buy things and gave money only to find out the CEO went hunting elephants and rhinos (supposed to protect them instead)
