nature climate change
Why do people think we can stop global climate change just by changing light bulbs and riding our bikes more?
Where is the common sense? The only way to change it, and even this would be a stretch, would be a super large-scale effort by all the nations of the world. We would have to eradicate factory farming, industrial pollution (which is growing at an alarming rate in countries like China, where industry is just beginning to take off), find alternative fuels and more.
And no one seems to realize that the climate of the earth has changed many times over it’s life. We can change our lightbulbs all we want, but the real inconvenient truth is that it will do not one bit of good besides saving you a dollar or two on your electric bill. We can’t control nature or God; we can just enjoy our lives while we’re here and be prepared for the day it may all end.
It has nothing to do with the climate. Sure they would like to say so, but it all comes down to patting themselves on the back. Make them feel all good inside. “I just rode my bicycle to work, I did my part.” Doesn’t that sounds as ignorant as what they are claiming us to be?

The 11th Hour
$1.40 Comparisons to Al Gore's Oscar-winning slide show will be inevitable, but there's a key difference between the two documentaries.
