THOUGHTS ABOUT POLLUTION AND GLOBAL WARMING

THOUGHTS ABOUT POLLUTION AND GLOBAL WARMING – increase in pollution leads to warming? I think it’s a politically clever move to use young people as the urgent voice for immediately changing the sources of our energy. Since today's youth will experience the horror of a world no longer habitable they have a personal stake in the result of unabated pollution. Whether or not pollution has a causal effect on the warming of our planet may not be the better question. Perhaps the better question is whether or not earth's temperature is rising. If it is then what can be done to stop it. At one time in my dumb-life I thought pissing in the water at the beach made no different in water quality. I thought when the truck took away our trash and garbage that all that bad smelly stuff magically evaporated. Even after I learned about landfills I thought buried it could be forgotten. In my reasonably smart-life I now know that our natural water systems are polluted; the air I breath can and does cause disease and death. I've heard some adults dismiss the comments of youth activist who fill the media with their cautions and concerns, purely on the basis that they are too young to know. If our waste has polluted our air and water systems it may also be true that the waste of creating energy is polluting how our weather systems operate. Amazon.com/dp/0983947724
