I was asked, during the summer, whether or not I believe in global warming. My answer was yes. I do believe our planet is warming.
Is it due to man kind? I don't know. But I did say it makes logical sense. In the last century or so, we have burned a whole lot of carbon, we have sent a whole lot of cabon dioxide (amoungst other things) into the atomosphere. Now, it makes sense that the planet would suffer some over arching effect from this, would it not?
Either way, I don't think it is wrong, not in the slighest, for man to step back and ACCEPT THE RESPONSIBILITY that it has had a vast effect on life on this planet. Any one who can look at pictures of the plastic reef in the pacific and shrug is a arrogant man indeed.
We should be reducing the engergy we use, partly because we can, and partly because it really makes little difference to us in our short lives. We should be recycling, why not? we should be walking instead of driving (we have legs, no), any one who looks at the global warming thing and doesn't think that actually, we're doing a whole lot of good for our children, regardless of whether it's true or not, needs to take a look at the odd land fill or two. I know they're some where else, but we're still shitting where we eat, how ever you look at it.
Don't be so callus as to think if it's not effecting us now, and they're lying to us, then it will never affect us. take responsibility. do your bit. It won't cost much, and it might make the world a better place for the next generations.
in other words, don't go out of your way to burn energy because you can. Go out of your way not to, because you can.
