Environment: Is Global Warming Our Fault?
August 18, 2009, 3:16 am
Filed under: ecology, Environment, global warming | Tags: , , ,

Not everyone buys into the idea that human activity on our planet is responsible for global warming.

Is it purely a cyclical phenomenon?

Is it all our fault?

Or is it a combination of our carelessness and natural cyclical changes in climate?

Here’s an exerpt from an Australian newspaper that takes an unequivocal  position on the issue.

REMEMBER Y2K? This was the new millennium bug that we were told threatened to throw the world’s computer systems into chaos as we entered the year 2000.

Aircraft could fall from the sky and businesses crash in a global digital catastrophe, we were warned. Panic set in and billions of dollars were spent across the world to head off this impending armageddon.

In this mad rush there was no room for sceptics. The evidence of the looming danger was overwhelming and undeniable, regardless of the fact that it sounded like something out of a science-fiction movie. Action had to be taken and no price was too high.

Well, the tsunami turned out to be nothing more than a ripple in a pond, if that.

Does all this have a familiar ring to it? Of course. It is the same type of argument that is being foisted on us by the Rudd government over global warming and its threat to the future of civilisation as we know it.

Here’s a question: What would Y2K have turned out to be if we had not spent the billions and done nothing?

Another question: Should we sit around and do nothing in the case of global warming?

Here’s the complete global warming debate article.
