warm it up…
January 4th, 2010
The photo is Banksy, the blog I got it from is here, it was a tip from AK and a good one. When we were in Hawaii toward the end of trip we hit kind of a sour note as we got into a big debate with the people we were staying with over global warming. It was raucous, voices were raised. And basically it always seems to come down to what you want to believe: either that authority is telling the truth and trying to get the world to change, or that authority is trying to manipulate you for some other, nefarious reason. Reading through the comments on the blog where this pic was posted, I came across this gem of a response, which is how I have always felt about it:
"I have yet to see a model that explains the current warming that leaves out effects caused by humans. Apart from that, I don’t really care who caused the problem or if the problem is a hoax in the first place. It’s a good time anyway to step away from the old kinds of energy and start transforming into a sustainable world."
Exactly.
