Global warming doesn't mean it's all sweltering, all the time. It means weather slowly becomes gradually warmer as time goes on. Where I live, it snowed exactly once last winter, and it was a small amount. Consequently, it felt exactly like fall the whole time.
Yeah, last I looked out the window, it's snowing here (Washington). But global warming actually is supposed to cause rising temperatures, then a sharp drop, so the cold may or may not be justified as air currents or whatever fluctuate (that's why I kind of didn't like
The Day After Tomorrow--it made a mockery of the global warming issue. Now, I know that the whole thing was like that because it makes a good action flick, but I just hope everyone knows that it doesn't really happen that fast).
Isn't there evidence to support global warming? If there is, I highly doubt there's an eminent and impending doom looming over us as we speak like Al Gore says. Nevertheless, going green couldn't really hurt us that bad, could it? It'd at least make the air cleaner.
My standard points about global warming:
1) Being environmentally aware shouldn't be called "going green". It doesn't need to be called anything because this shouldn't be a movement--this should be what we automatically do. It's like if we lived in one of those old societies where no one bathed, and people were always smirking at all those guys washing their hands/showering for "going clean" all of a sudden.
2)Why would global warming be an elaborate hoax? What's to gain from lying that the world is headed towards turmoil and we need to be nicer to the environment? Now as for lying that there is
no global warming... well, let's just say that has a few perks.
3)I have a hard time listening to the whole, "oh, it's just a natural process argument". Yes, I can see that, but let's not forget that the last Ice Age was probably caused when that Vatican City-sized meteorite slammed into Mexico and basically took out the sky for a year or two. Besides, if you pump tank after tank of the gaseous remains of Styrofoam, oil, and every chemical under the sun that humans have been producing for more than a century,
you're telling me that nothing will happen?
(Not "you", specifically... you know what I mean)
