Comment on a Climate Change Article:
While I believe that cleaner energy makes sense, I also believe that the “science” behind global warming is flawed to the point that some people should be brought up on fraud charges (It wouldn’t surprise me if this starts to happen in the next year). While we may be experiencing the worst fraud committed in the history of man, that fraud may well help push us to creating better and cleaner energy. That shouldn’t happen in the face of an imagined “impending global disaster”.
My Response:
I would suggest some additional academic level research before calling the science fraudulent and the “impending global disaster” imagined. Sure there are quacks on both sides but the broad opinion and real evidence are quite clear. Even outside of the carbon/warming debate, I feel it’s clear that we’re existing and growing in an unsustainable fashion on this planet of fixed resources. Trees are disappearing, fish are disappearing, more and more land is becoming un-fertile. Lack of drinkable water will be a major crisis in the next 50 years. There is more than one ecological issue pointing to a potential “impending global disaster”. We need to find a new relationship between human society and planet earth, and we need to figure out what values we need to keep, and which ones we need to do away with.
