Maybe not global warming, but definitely global something.
There are alot (or at least an increadibly vocal minority) of people who take every opportunity to shoot down Al Gore, and all the commentators, experts and scientists who want to talk about Global warming, climate change, or whatever you want to call it. They'll point to 6 foot snow drifts and say, "see? it can't be warming up" ... but these people are missing the point.
Don't get bogged down by definitions. Take a good hard look at what's happening all around the world right this minute, and then tell me that there's nothing wrong with the global climate.
Still persisting? Fine, I then label you "coward".
Harsh? ...maybe... but true.
Just because you refuse to acknowledge what is happening, doesn't change the fact that it is happening. It's only going to get worse, so maybe we should be looking at some ways to mitigate the impending disaster...
So there's another post down... as usual the News and Word of the Week sections are just down below. If you've enjoyed this site (or just want to call me an idiot), please take the opportunity to comment via the link below.

Maybe so as regards global warming BUT note that the southern ozone hole is repairing spontaneously (with a little help from us) and the weather patterns are due to el nina - we experienced this weather before many times in an ongoing cycle between 'normality', el nina and el nino. Anyway we need to wipe out a big segment of the population [yeah I'm considered a cynic, sometimes a pessimist but I'm just a realist].
ReplyDeleteI believe that if we (as a society) can mitigate the impending changes, then we deserve to survive. If not (as seems to be the case), then yes, it's time for us to get wiped out and make way for the next one...
ReplyDeleteI'm just not ready to throw in the towel yet.
Hear hear. All hail the doom prophet! ^^ Jokes aside. Something is definately getting worse. Even if its not global warming, its bad enough. Even if we are wrong, i am still recycling, and i am teaching my son to do the same. www.itson.za.net
