There is only one real culprit in the whole global warming & climate change saga, and that is NATURE. Ever since the planet formed, it's climates
have changed on a massive scale.
Climate change effected the dinosaurs, and was probably the main factor in their demise. Now, if anyone can produce evidence that humans existed
alongside dinosaurs, and were producing carbon emissions at that time, then I might change my mind!
Take ice ages for instance, created by natural changes in the earth's climate & atmosphere, then receding for the same reasons. If climates stayed at
a constant level, we'd either still be in an ice age, or at the same climate that existed at the birth of the planet. In other words, we'd probably
never have evolved.
Humanity is way too young to comment on these things, we've only been here for a tiny tiny fraction of the time the earth has. We're just a blip in
the timeline. We will no doubt face many threats related to climate change, because we've never experienced the extreme elements of nature, we're
still too young as a species.
We're doing what humans do best, blaming each other for factors way beyond our control. However I do beleive the things we are doing are having an
adverse effect on the planet.
Take for instance the dwindling bee population, I have many theories about this, one of which is the commercialisation of the honeybee. The face we
think we can just pick up & move massive bee colonies thouands of miles with no ill effects. This is having a knock-on effect with crop production
because the transported bees are confused, sick and disoriented, so are not carrying out pollenation as they would normally.
Pumping raw sewerage into watercourses & oceans is another disgusting practice carried out by water companies in my country, and undoubtably
worldwide. This will of course upset aquatic ecosystems, causing fish stocks to dramaticaly reduce and spread disease.
That is only to name a few things that REALLY need tacking, instead of focusing on the global warming farce. The UK government are who make the
legislation that allows these things to happen, at the same time as wasting billions on banning plastic bags & 'litter police'. Really, doesn't
that stink of hypocrisy????
