You need science for that. The theory is that we need to be certain, if not know for sure, before we can wisely act.
But that has been the paradigm of the world since the invention of the scientific method as early as 1600 BC; from
that time on, the steps of the scientific method adapted had been: examination, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis
(Wikipedia).
And where are we now after 3,607 years of the application of science to life? We are in after the beginning of
global warming. That is The Inconvenient Truth.
You still doubt that there is global warming? Then the Hollywood stars are more discerning than you are – the
members of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences have just bestowed the 2007 Oscar for
‘Best Documentary’ on Al Gore’s The Inconvenient Truth. Read
the news, watch the film! This is a film that substantiates the
claim of global warming with evidence from around the world
and conclusions of scientists & experts after much deliberation
& debate. Oh, it’s a film I myself haven’t seen but have believed.
Didn’t Jesus Christ say? ‘Blessed are those that have not seen
but have believed!’
Earlier, the United Nations came out with a report that global
warming is a fact (‘unequivocal’) (for more details, see also my
other American Chronicle article, ‘An Inconvenient Truth’). In
response (to the UN Report, not to my article), European
Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas was reported to
have said (William Echikson, 1 Mar 2007, nasdaq.com):
Next, we must further raise the
consciousness of those who are
already aware into the level of
curiosity, further to lead them
into desiring to do something
about it, whatever they can
where they can with what they
have.
I am deeply concerned at the accelerating pace and the
increasing extent of climate change that (the UN Report)
shows. It is now more urgent than ever that the international community get down to serious negotiations on
a comprehensive new worldwide agreement to stop global warming.
The EU has been urging the US to agree to a unilateral cutting of greenhouse gas emissions at least 20% by 2020.
But the United States is not about to be persuaded. That is because US officials are convinced that unilateral cuts
of gas emissions will result in a damaged economy for the US (AP, 2 Feb 2007, foxnews.com). What is bad for
General Motors is bad for the US.
We need the Blogal Village Voice to say that the Yankee explanation for the US Government’s refusal to order
public and private cuts in greenhouse gas emissions is damaged reasoning. We primal bloggers need to keep
faith with the people if the politicians will not.
Primate Change? Or Climate Change?
