I read an article online about Global Warming and legislation and it started out with this statement: "Now that every scientist who isn't part of the lunatic fringe agrees that human greenhouse gas emissions significantly alter the world's climate ... " Needless to say, this attracted a lot of not so friendly comments. I tossed in my support.
Stu,
Looks like you turned over the wrong rock.
To your pro-pollution commenters:
What are you all doing reading a science magazine?
Bend the truth anyway you like. It's a fact that the arctic ice-cap is getting smaller. Same goes for the mass of the ice on Greenland and around Antarctica.
Global Warming is just one reason to cut back our pollution. Whether you believe in it or not, keeping your environment clean protects your family from harm.
It's a fact is that mercury damages the brains of your children. Coal plants are mass mercury dispensers. We should get rid of them for that reason alone. The science is here now. It's an inevitable evolution. We can get our energy through solar, wind, geothermal, hydro and other ways. No more begging the middle east or removing mountaintops for fuel that hurts our children. Why the resistance?
People trying to protect the environment are looking out for you and your family and the families they will have. A little sacrifice from us now to build clean infrastructure and cut our fossil fuel consumption will payoff ... forever.
Do I want my grandchildren to learn that I opposed the cleaning of their environment or do I want them to look upon me as one of the heroes that fought for their clean toxin-free air, easy clean energy and a more beautiful place to live?
If you have a toothache you go to the dentist. How is this different? The earth is changing and the science that says we have something to do with it is overwhelming .
Protecting the environment has no long term downside economic or otherwise. It is simply creating a higher Quality environment for your family to live in.
