After yesterdays’ blog entry, I was contemplating the issue of why there are still people resisting Climate Change initiatives. Even if you don’t believe that climate change will happen from our dumping of Green House Gases into the atmosphere, you must support an approach that reverses the impact humans are having on the earth, making it less habitable every year – so, by this reasoning a more conservative approach to any “dumping” is a good thing; right? Then later today I saw this following comment by famous filmmaker and scientist Jacques Cousteau:
“Water and air, the two essential fluids on which all life depends, have become global garbage cans”....
We do need to protect the air and water, and I would have thought that leadership should be shown by the developed countries of the world and encouragement given to those developing nations to follow suit. This is the spirit of the Kyoto Protocol together with the more urgent need to address catastrophic climate change scenarios predicted by the IPCC (International Panel on Climate Change). But as I say, support of Kyoto does not have do endorse Climate Change science, it provides a foundation of an approach that is needed to address Jacques famous statement about air and water.
