First Blog - Climate Change

I personally think that we should not be concerned about the stories on climate change because the earth’s climate is and has always been changing beyond the human history and that the changes have nothing to do with humans. Carbon dioxide is food for the plants which improves global farming activities and only takes a small part of the atmosphere to cause global warming. Increase in temperatures causes the rise in the level of carbon dioxide and not the other way round. After all the observations of temperatures taken by weather balloons and satellites do not support the theory of global warming and the computers used to predict the future climate are unreliable and based on a series of assumptions as shown by the results that sometimes the predicted weather does not occur.

I believe that global warming has to do with the sun which very little is known by a human being. The climate is actually affected by the cosmic rays from the sun. Even if the temperatures rise by 5 degrees each year human beings have been known to adapt well to weather conditions. People who live in the African continent will not die if they migrate to the Far East where temperatures sometimes reach -25 degrees Celsius. The scale of negative effects of climate change is often overstated and there is no need for urgent action. Global warming alarmism is an implausible theory for which there is little evidence (Myron Ebell), director of global warming policy, competitive enterprise institute.

After Kyoto and Copenhagen conferences global warming remains to threaten a great reversal of human progress as we are not weighing the costs and benefit of possible climate proposals which creates yet a major gap and conflicts between the rich and poor countries of the world. Obviously the poor countries of the world cannot put money to fight global warming at the expense of starving people in their countries or either makes a priority in campaigning for the cut in carbon emissions yet they do not even have cars to drive in those countries. The pledges made by the British Prime minister Gordon Brown of £500 billion could for example go a long way in improving the lives of people in developing countries or set aside for unpredicted disasters like the resent Haiti quake. If scientists were critically doing accurate predictions they would have predicted the diverstating earthquakes and tsunamis which have taken so many lives today than predict a global warming for over 50 years to come.




I have a feeling global warming have been going on for a long time beyond our history at a very slow pace and there are no clear scientific facts on the measurements of the impacts on the environment. If scientists could predict the future on global warming then the solution should not be a problem and there should be no panic concerning the impacts at the moment. AS far as I can see it men can only be limited to what he can do on this earth and not bother about the future impacts since there is very little we can do as far as nature is concerned.
