I think I'm misunderstanding you perhaps. Are you saying that Global Warming is not true then? There's lots of supporting evidence, and even further evidence that it relates back to human actions on this earth. I am of the belief that is is a true phenomena, but I also believe that people don't take it seriously enough to take the necessary actions to make even satisfactory level advancements to create a fighting solution against it, or they procrastinate because they don't see it affecting them as an individual, or perhaps they want to utilize the fear behind it to make money or win an election (*whistles*). To any (monkey) in the political world, it's used as a buzzword or catchphraze to act important and pretend to care, and that's the problem; nobody really does what they say they will do to change something these days.
Ever heard of the boy who cried wolf? :)
You can't play dice with the fact that others have made false statements in the odds that one may never be true. All you have to do is use your own judgement. Those were beliefs and opinions based on perspectives and perceptions for the most part. This is a statement about our environment that has an amplitude of supporting evidence to support its truth (Global Warming).
If you take the video for what it was MEANT to portray however... All he is saying is this:
Better be safe than sorry... - The cost of Global Warming being something that we could act upon to fight against, but neglecting to take any action, by far outweighs the cost of taking action (whether it's true/false, or whether we can/cannot do something about it).
Even if old statements were only just rumors. I don't believe it is a reason or an excuse to be lazy when it comes to "preparation" for something that is not ridiculously implausible. :thumbsup2:
C'mon though! The US already blows billions of dollars into the military for a silly war that might not happen for years unless they want to go to another 3rd world country to steal some oil... I can't see why people would complain about spending a bit of money to fight Global Warming in any way possible to humans if money is what it takes. It's hard to find people that don't have a second motive, and especially among the "higher ups" these days although. Doing something for the greater cause is unfamiliar territory and has been for a while as far as I can tell. :r1:
Enough of my mockery for the government though. It's all the same whichever country or region you talk about. People are usually greedy and don't like change or making sacrifices. I could sell my house to help fight Global Warming if I wanted to, I just don't know how I could fight it. What people don't understand is that it takes more than one person to fight something that big; I am only one person, and who knows if my efforts would even be put to good use or added upon by others? The question really comes down to who actually cares.
