The Future Isn't Set...



"The future isn't set, there is no fate but what we make for ourselves". This quote from the movie The Terminator 2: Judgment Day seems to have a resounding truth when applied to the subject of the Earth and it's "impending" doom at the hands of global warming, and the environmentalists that propagate it. It may seem like a harsh reality to some and to others it seems like a radical fantasy. The my point is that the "truth" of global warming swings both ways. Global Warming is a problem facing us today that many have jumped at to fix. There are those of us such as former Vice President Al Gore who travel around and spread the word on global warming, and then there are those of us who take a more back seat approach. As Roy W. Spencer points out in his book Climate Confusion:
"The Western world's fear of global warming and its effects has reached a point of being an obsession. The media is more than willing to spread, and even amplify, the fear that humanity is filling up the Earth, pushing it beyond its ability to sustain us. Mother Nature is suffering as a result of our sins, and humans are now increasingly blamed for every hurricane, tornado, tsunami, earthquake, flood, and drought that occurs."- Climate Confusion, pg. 2
Roy W. Spencer makes a very good point in this excerpt from his book, he points out that the hysteria created from the global warming phenomena has turned the people of the world into paranoid, obsessive, and bleak. The fear of global warming has been propagated by Vice President Al Gore through his slide show and movie "An Inconvenient Truth" in this video he shows stunning images of how the environment has been changed through the millions of years, and how we as the collective peoples of the Earth have directly attributed to the problem. The finger has been pointed at humans (Americans in particular) saying that we need to change our ways, alternative energy, conservation, environazism are all propagated as the only ways that we can fix whatever we may have done. In this blog I would like to point out the truths of Global Warming, as well as show that environmentalism and harsh (not to mention expensive) changes are not the only things you can do to help.

Yeah. Climate change is happening. I'm pretty sure that that is clear. However, I sort of agree with you. It is part of the planets natural cycle. But this time, the Carbon dioxide levels are higher than ever before in the past. There is proof that this is due to humans, but it isn't as bad as many people have stated it as.
Also, alternative fuel sources should be looked into, because the current fuel sources are non-reusable and after time there won't be enough coal or oil to use it as an efficient power source.
