The Environment is always a hot topic these days, more specifically, global warming.
It seems everyone from scientists, politicians and the media have their view and opinion on what global warming really is and what it is doing to our planet. One thing is consistent throughout - it's a way to get the public's attention. We are warned about the dangers of what global warming does and how we are responsible for it.
I for one do no doubt that if we take responsibility for our own waste that the world would be a better place to live in. No arguments there. What I am not convinced of is that 'we' are responsible for the rise in temperature that is causing "global warming". I have read countless of published data wherein scientists vehemently disagree as to who the culprit is.
Some scientists agree that it is all part of the natural evolution of things and there is nothing we can do to prevent or stop Mother Nature from evolving at her own pace.
Others scientists, which are the ones that politicians and the media seem to focus on, who are also in the minority I might add, preach that we are responsible for the raising temperatures across the globe due to fossil fuels, garbage waste and debris; and then finally the remaining scientific groups who are sit on the fence because the have not gathered sufficient information in order to come to a proper consensus. It's enough to drive anyone mad.
The unfortunate thing throughout all of this is that politicians have been using it as a ploy to get votes where otherwise there would have been none. It has turned into a vicious game and the media join in playing on the negativity surrounding the issue.
The government of course monopolizes this issue by quasi convincing the public that they have single handedly saved us from certain 'doom'.
Unfortunately, perhaps the real truth of what exactly 'global warming' is, is hidden beneath all the lies, exaggerations, falsehoods and misrepresentations.
One cannot know for certain what the true explanation of global warming is, we can only continue to gather information and make informed decisions as to what and where the problem truly lies. Studies are still being conducted as to the nature of this phenomenon called global warming and we may not have conclusive hard evidence until many, many years from now.
The danger now lies with the probability that global warming being blamed on humanity to its exclusivity and will only encourage politicians and government groups to stake their claim even deeper into the unsuspecting public and gaining control over them.
