There are some issues that are so important for our common
good that they should have bi-partisan
support.
One of these is the risk
that the climate changes we are experiencing may be caused by burning fossil
fuels to supply us with energy. Some
people say it is just an atmospheric cycle, yet many respected scientists are
saying with supporting facts that carbon dioxide and methane gases are rapidly
building up in the outer atmosphere and creating a “blanket” around the earth. This build up keeps more heat here on earth
and is causing glaciers and the polar ice to melt. This melting will cause oceans to rise and force
people to migrate to higher ground. The
rising water will be disrupting, but millions of migrants with no home will
affect us all in unimaginable and countless ways!
Just assume climate change is a hoax, and we all save energy
and generate clean power from renewable sources anyway. Then, we find that the World and the people
in it are better off. It is a win-win response to a risk that we need not take.
There are here and now proven ways that we can reduce our dependence on
the burning of fossil fuels and people are just as happy or happier – and our
children and grandchildren will be also.
I recently read the following article “A Message from a
Republican Meteorologist on Climate Change -- Acknowledging Climate Change Does
Not Make You a Liberal or a Conservative.”
It is worth reading – just click on the link below:
Thanks for taking the time to read it and then encourage your
favorite politicians to take bi-partisan action!
Environmentalists add that the effects of polluted water will be felt in the next 50 years in most of the local towns and the productive farms due to mining on river catchments and fertile soil.
