It’s global polluting!
I’ve heard the phrase global warming enough to know that it’s important, but something so intangible is difficult to grasp; particularly, when overshadowed by such controvery.
Right or wrong, there’s an important underlying issue that is being overlooked in my opinion. According to Wikipedia, “The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes that increasing greenhouse gas concentrations resulting from human activity such as fossil fuel burning and deforestation caused most of the observed temperature increase since the middle of the 20th century.” The article also cites “natural phenomena” as influencing climate change, but the point is that industrial times — and the associated pollution — continue to play a role.
Therefore, I move to call it “global polluting”. So, the next time you witness a debate on global warming, ask the debate opponents if they’d agree to call it global polluting. Maybe then we can make some headway.
Agreed, Global Pollution is more in keeping with what we are doing to the environment. Big business will do everything they can to keep us believing that it isn’t happening, so they can continue to line their pockets, but tell me, why is it that the US uses 30% of the worlds resources?
So, do we let Big business get richer or do we act responsibly and try to reduce the harm which we have unleashed on this beautiful planet and leave a better legacy for our children?
I thinks it’s time to wake up AMERICA~!
