Oh no! Humans have yet again collectively failed to look at the bigger
picture and understand that the Earth works on a geological time scale,
in which a human lifetime is about a half a second. Yes, the
industrial revolution and everything that it produced hasn't helped
anything, but you know what? Climates do change. Over half the globe
has been covered in glaciers, many times. The oceans have been 300+
feet higher than they are now, and 300+ fee lower, too. The Saharan
desert was once a huge, lush forest. We don't understand our Earth as well as we think we do.
Yes, it sucks that
winter is getting shorter and summers are getting hotter and it doesn't
rain/snow enough in some places anymore. However, there is little we
can do about it. All reasonable projections have pretty much shown we
are no longer able to 'reverse the effects' of global warming. Hell,
no one can ever be certain that humans are solely responsible;
especially since it's highly unlikely.
We need to do the best we can with what we have. We should try and curb emissions and find alt. energy sources. But people need to stop kidding themselves that there is someone who is responsible, that there is a magic cure that will reverse this process and take things back the way it used to be.
Oh
yeah, you blame the government? You are an idiot.
