The Cassandra Curse: Convincing Someone
If I had to convince someone to believe me, I would show them all the evidence I had first so they would have a reason to believe me in the first place, and I would also say it it might affect them, because then they might want to do more about it. To convince people that are in power and are very important in politics, I would tell how it would affect them and their country. I also think that my thoughts would change had I visited the Alaskan Ice Tunnel to understand the magnitude of how bad it is and all the carbon being released to the atmosphere. Another thought is whether you would believe someone who told you something. If someone told you something (a modern day Cassandra) and you didn't know if it was true, would YOU believe them?

I agree about many things that you clearly stated; from advice about how to get people to believe you to your opinions about the Alaskan Ice Tunnel. I would like you to add more ways to make people believe you, as in a step by step manner. Lastly, here's a question. How would you know if someone is a modern Cassandra or somebody who is just messing with you?
