Climate Change is Real


The other day I listened to THE pre-eminent scientist Martin Rees being interviewed by one of my favorite journalists Christiane Amanpour discussing among other things climate change. Among the majority of scientists climate change is a FACT and to doubt that it is not is simply behaving like an ostrich (my words, not his).  Below I have a link to Amanpour’s various interviews, you will have to login but it is worth watching if you are interested in any of the subjects I will now refer to.  As well I include the Wikipedia article on carbon footprint and a website that answers / refutes climate change deniers arguments.  I don’t want to waste my time re-writing so provide these links for your edification.
The concern I have is trying to understand why individuals wish to deny that climate change is real. I can understand why corporations would want to deny it because they are concerned only about their bottom line (i.e. financial gains) and like Ebenezer Scrooge are reluctant to spend one grout on anything as altruistic as the environment. But are they the ones who have induced some sort of algorithm into ordinary people’s mentality to make them hypnotized into believing that we humans can go willy-nilly along, cutting down forests, burning fuel at unreasonable rates and generally acting irresponsibly to the detriment of this Earth?
I would ask these people to examine their reasoning and perhaps delve more deeply into the true science of climate (not to be confused with weather).
I believe that one should examine one’s personal thinking on a daily basis and as one ages it is vital to do so because it is so very easy to fall into grooves and patterns of thinking. More on this tomorrow.
