Global Warming – fact or fiction – or does it matter?

Global Warming – fact or fiction – or does it matter?

There are still many people out there debating whether global warming is happening and if it is caused by man or natural causes. 

Honestly, we don’t know what is going to happen and how much is natural and how much is caused by man.  We do know that our weather has gone a little crazy and it is predicted that it will get worse.

If man is causing global warming the big culprit, as we all know is fossil fuels and our dependence on them for power and fuel for our cars. 

But fossil fuels cause more problems than just global warming.  There are also problems of air pollution, water pollution, they are non-renewable, cause land degradation when dig up the raw materials, to name a few.

So with all the problems that fossil fuels cause I don’t really care if they are causing global warming or not, it is total insanity to keep using them regardless.  And one day they will run out, and what sort of earth will we be left with? 

The only sane thing I can see, is turning our resources and brain power to clean green renewable energy, such as solar and wind power.  Yes at the moment it is expensive but that is largely because funding for research was slashed by governments about 20 years ago.  We should have been pouring money in to research and development 20 years ago and then by now we would have cheap clean fuel sources readily available. 

Unfortunately we can’t go into the past, so we have to do what we can today.  And that means each and every one of us.  What we do does make a difference and by us doing our bit we do influence those around us. 

I recently came across a book about building your own solar and wind power generators for under $200.  This of course will reduce your greenhouse gas emissions as well as save you on energy bills.  So if you are interested check it out at http://kerryann23.earth4.hop.clickbank.net/

If you don’t want to go as far as building your own power generators you can check out things your can do to reduce your carbon footprint at our many website http://www.coolingourplanet.com

  If you haven’t already done so grab your free course on eco-living - just fill in your details at the top left of this page.

Thanks for reading, see you next time
