Part Three: Planet Earth careened through space... Climate Change - Fact or Fallacy?
Welcome back. Climate Change and Global Warming have become hot topics and polarizing terms that have divided the world. I have to ask myself this provocative question. If these terms do not accurately describe the phenomenon we are experiencing, then what is happening?
If climate change is not going to impact us all in a very negative way, then why are a dozen or more US Senators being paid between $1,000,000.00 and $3,000,000.00 to cast doubt on what 97% of all published climatologists say is definitely going to happen?
We are divided over whether temperatures are rising or falling. Who cares about the semantics. Only a blind and deaf person might not see the signs or hear the discussions about changes taking place. We've lost a thousand species with another 1,000 going the way of the buffalo in the next decade or so. We have lost 50% of our coral, with the balance in danger. We're experiencing more extreme weather and we are entering a water crisis.
Who cares what this is called. Climate change will create an impossible refugee crisis of a billion people. These are just the billion people who depend on coral for food and livelihood. People are making judgments and decisions based on opinions of others and in some cases political ideology.
South Florida streets are flooding with salt water at high tides because our oceans are rising. Sea life is dying because their habitat is warming and becoming more acidic. Man has systematically and selfishly poisoned the Earth in every possible way, and even knowing now what we have done, continues in the same tragic direction.
Trees store carbon but when we burn them, they release a concentrated amount into the atmosphere. Now consider the billions of trees burned in the rain forests to make room to grow palm oil plants. Add to that the emissions of billions of vehicles and the methane gas from over 2 billion cows. In my next installment of this topic, I will share an exhaustive list of all the things that are overpowering our atmosphere with carbon. I think you will be shocked.
Add the criminal way we are poisoning our oceans and lakes and killing our sea life with discarded plastic. I'll leave you with this thought to consider. There is a solution to this tragic challenge but it will be almost impossible to get the pollutors and the mega rich to change what is making them rich. All we need to pull this off is ten million voices speaking as one for the Earth.
