Global Warming

In this blog, I wrote about Climate Change on Dec.31, 2013 and gave it some further comments on Nov.11, 2014. Today's topic is titled Global Warming.    

Just finished watching an Al Jazeera weather report in You Tube. The video is titled February (2016) Shatters Global Temperature Records.

I don't like the term of Climate Change, because weather is very changeable in the short term, and climate always changes in the long term. There would be cold and hot periods from time to time. So what climate change? Climate always changes.

There is some truth regarding global warming, but still I think the focus should be on carbon emission, air pollution, water contamination, rising sea level, environmental abuse, and the misuse and over-harvest of the natural resources on planet earth. These are the real issues that we must deal with. I mean don't argue about terminologies like abnormal weather, climate change, global warming, deep freeze and so on. Instead, deal with the real issues.

I believe global warming is real, but it is not an absolute truth. In other words, global warming is generally true, but not specifically true. Whether it is cold, warm or hot, it depends on the time and location of the place in question. While there are melting and decreasing ice fields in the Arctic, the ice fields in the Antarctic are expanding.

Some believe that global warming is largely caused by human activities, so what? Some believe that global warming is normal, and is largely caused by nature's own forces, so what? Some reject global warming is even real, so what? In any case, we have to deal with the problems, the reality, the facts and effects, not just arguing about terminologies or causes. Again, the real issues are  carbon emission, air pollution, water contamination, rising sea level, environmental abuse, and the misuse and over-harvest of the natural resources on planet earth.

I believe that burning fossil fuels for energy is primitive, not advanced. The whole world should switch to clean, green and renewable energy. It will be much better for the health of  planet earth and its inhabitants.

P.S. A repeated joke on a public notice: due to the cold weather, the protest on global warming has been cancelled.
