Great posts, Namorvia. I always say, when asked if my 'vision' is true: I've written a story, a once upon a time about the future. It's not a prediction.
There are no absolutes about climate change; as soon as I read one thing which seems definitive, I find another bunch of scientists who disagree completely. (That graph and conclusions seems pretty definitive but no doubt there's somebody out there who will say they can prove different.)
So what I think is: we don't know. But the evidence seems to be piling up. I agree that governments have all kinds of vested interests in turning us 'greener' and as Namorvia says, and not all completely altruistic.
But even if we don't know absolutely, I'd like to live in a less polluted world. So 'green' seems to make sense as an insurance policy and as a better way to progress. If climate change is nothing to do with us then at least we've developed a less polluting way to live on the planet (the world population explosion and diminishing resources are no myths). And do we really want to take the chance of doing nothing? Just seems a pretty big risk.... what do you think? |
