| Re: Get rich quick-global warming.
It's a massive and complicated issue and so I've tried to simplify it as much as I can by concluding that:
1. If the scientists are wrong, then I've wasted my time putting in a few energy lightbulbs (which also save me money), driving less (which also saves me money), buying food from the UK (which also helps local farmers), using less fossil fuels (which also produces less pollution and it's good for the environment) paid some taxes (that I would have been paying somehow anyway), watched people make more money than me (nothing new there) etc etc. It's not a big deal.
2. But if I do nothing and then find out that the scientists were right, I've helped pollute the environment, destroy habitats, lose species, create famines etc.
I feel much happier about taking option number 1. |
