“[Al] Gore wants us to clean up our factories…when China and other countries couldn't care less. China, Japan, and India are laughing at America’s stupidity.” - Donald Trump, ranting to a crowd at the Trump National Golf Club in Westchester, New York, February 2010.
Which leaves us with our "intelligence" to ensure our survival. So far this has served us well.If it's winter we need to make a coat, we want to study volcanoes we build a suit to withstand the harsh environment. The reason behind these and many other inventions is for the simple fact we simply didn't want to die in nature.
As we began to really understand the natural world and the complex systems that operate within their own unique set of laws, that some smart guy decided to label as natural laws. Almost every aspect of our reality is affected by these because these set of laws. They also could really give two shits less about anything surviving or freedom, or anything else arm chair busy bodies pride themselves as being "experts" on . This isn't the same league as what groups of rich assholes in fancy suites with mildly retarded and violent henchmen make for society.
“[Nancy Pelosi] is committed to her global warming fanaticism to the point where she has said she’s just trying to save the planet. We all know that someone did that over 2,000 years ago, they saved the planet — we didn't need Nancy Pelosi to do that.” - Senator Michele Bachmann, telling OneNewsNow that the US doesn't need environmental advocates because Jesus already has got that covered, August 2008.
Most people are solely driven by profit as well as the need to boost up their own ego. Hipsters of many different colors in all reality. Reason, logic and common sense are things that play very little use when it comes to this counter-intuitive mind set. The use of social media has not only been a blessing in one sense but on the other it has been a driving force for this dangerous line of thinking.
The issue of global warming is a shinning example of self for-filling prophecy of doom that is lead by a confused consensus of people who might be suffering from a form of mass delusion or denial. The need to be different and the need to stand out for the means of profit and those wonderful feel good hollow gestures could very well prove to be a factor in a very dire turn of events.
If you are a denier of climate change or global warming (which ever makes you feel better the end game will still be the same) you are missing a bigger and much simpler issue. We are all stuck on a giant rock that is floating in a dangerous and extremely hostile sea that shows less mercy than a boarder patrol officer on an illegal Mexican. We also have no back up plan and no outer space bearded man to save us should worse case scenario happen.
If you where on a boat and a couple of people tried telling you that they where going to drill holes in your boat so they could look for treasure easier, and than denied your claims that holes in the boat would surely sink it would you still allow that person to go on with that behavior? Our entire life support system the whole reason we are able to call each other idiots and act shady is because of the planet we are stuck on. Do we really want to play games with something that important?
There are a lot of reasons why most people (by most people I mean Americans) don't want to accept the possibility that we're going to have to buckle down and patch up the environment more. Most of this boils down to one thing however and that is money. It's not hard to see why so many big companies are against any form of regulation of their industries. For them its more cost effective to pollute and use outdated technology. The less accountability for them the more of a profit margin they can increase.
The trail of corruption while it is on a global scale is not one that is to hard to miss. When you look at the groups who are overly out spoken on the subject there is a common thread that runs between all of them. That thread is business people like the Koch Brothers. This kind of mentality that is a common trend that people within the business world, have been using grassroots movements to help further their agenda. In democracies grassroots movements are one of the most effective methods used to bring about political change. This is a double edge sword and not everyone shares the same values.
These people talk extremely crafty and know how to not just appeal to but also to bring out a narcissistic ego that is very easy to manipulate (think Sith tactics). When you are given a new idea you have to get past the people trying to talk you to join their team. First look at the big picture and the risks that are involved with that. If the end result isn't life threatening than you shouldn't worry about it. With the case with global warming it's not an issue of whose right and whose wrong its about keeping our life support up and running. You shouldn't be joining the against side because being a "free thinker" is cool and sexy and ladies love a rebel. You should be more on the side of not letting rich unethical douchebags tamper with our air, climate and overall lives. If the weather gets to hostile or too toxic you're going to find yourself stuck in a world that will be close to that film from the 90s Water World. Who really wants to be the last people on Earth and be stuck with Kevin Costner til Jaws or a Kracken eat both of you? The Toxic Avenger was a masterpiece but I find myself not wanting to live in Tramuaville for some strange and odd reason.
