CLIMATE CHANGE

Ok so I’m no so-called environmental scientist, just a guy who doesn’t have his head in the sand.  Actually the majority of environmental scientists are evidently in agreement that extreme weather events are in fact increasing, so I have no quarrel with them whatsoever.

So why are governments and officials of all stripes, with very few exceptions,  ignoring this issue?!  Surely the threat to human lives should be a priority for all leaders today.  But no, what we see is a consistent, unrelenting, focus on financial matters the world over!  How blind is that?? A scripture comes to mind, namely; “…Blind guides is what they are. If, then, a blind man guides a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14). Of course Jesus was referring to the false religious leaders of the 1st Century, but surely the same principle applies to today’s leaders, religious or otherwise, that refuse to act.

Talk about ‘Nero fiddling while Rome burns’ syndrome, but indeed that is the attitude that prevails throughout the history of mankind.  Leaders the world over are ‘in denial’, primarily pushing financial agenda’s, be they good or bad.

The pro’s and con’s of so-called global warming isn’t really the issue. The issue is what can be done to mitigate and protect mankind from extreme weather conditions that are steadily increasing and impacting virtually every nation on earth.  Surely there is enough evidence of this to make it a real priority?

Isn’t it time for good people everywhere to wake up and take seriously environmental disasters that are increasingly occurring planet-wide?  If you are looking for a better world I invite you to visit another posting on this blog, namely:
