Questioning the global warmer

So how? We all know about it and we all think about all the ways we could make changes to help prevent it. So how? Is this all we can do?

But it means sacrificing comforts and convenience. Who is willing to do that? Who is willing to share their ride with someone else, have to wait for buses or trains, carry around extra shopping bags, avoid using their air-conditioning, sort out their refuse for recycling? All this extra effort and no reward?

What about preventing global warming? But I am just one person and the world is filled with billions of other who are all wasting and polluting, what difference can I make? Should I live in hardship while others enjoy the good life at the world’s expense. What’s the harm in just joining the crowd?

But what would my children say or my future grandchildren in 50 years time think? "My Grandparents helped cause the environmental problems we face" or "My grandparents helped avoid the environmental problems"?

Think about it, and then also think about what we say about those who stand up against oppression around the world (Mahatma Gandhi in India or Aung San Suu Kyi in Burma for instance). Often doing the right thing doesn’t help you, it may even get you killed, but what matters most is the future and we must fight for the right for other that come after us to live the best life possible, not to mention all the other life that we share this planet with.
