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.

Elephants

This is so horrific: according to the Wildlife Conservation Society, 96 elephants are kill every day in Africa. That's 35,000 elephants killed in a year.

A friend Mariah said that if you believe BBC, the majority of the tusks went to China.

I said yes, Chinese gangs and criminals made deals with poor African poachers, to illegally smuggle the elephant tusks to China, Vietnam, Taiwan, etc. to make ivory artifacts. It is not only elephants. Humans should be ashamed of themselves, to keep destroying the environment and abusing the natural resources and wildlife on planet earth. Unfortunately, money and the economy often speak louder than ethics and morals, and people would even break the laws for greed of money, power and self interests.

I said yes,

Music in Nature

Open your ears and listen. There is beautiful music in nature !

Climate Change

It is rather stupid to argue about climate change. Climate always changes, from Spring, Summer, Fall to Winter, then back to Spring. The climate that you like or dislike depends on the time and location of the place in question. Whether you believe in global warming or deep freeze, climate will continue to change. The focus should be rather about pollution and irresponsible human activities in abusing nature and misusing its natural resources, which is a fact. Of course the big oil companies and oil producing countries will continue to promote the production and use of oil. It is their interest to make big money and huge profits. But it will change. It is already happening, I mean the production and use of green and renewable energy in lieu of burning fossil fuels. Did you hear my joke before ? It is this: due to the cold weather, the gathering to protest against global warming has been cancelled :)

Sandy and God

There is no all-loving, all-knowing and all-powerful God. Again and again, Sandy the storm and such natural disasters prove it to be so. If God created many such a disaster and allowed it to happen, by a so-called act of God, then he is not loving at all. If something else (nature) or somebody else (so-called devil) created such disasters, and God just took a back seat and didn't do anything about it,then he is not loving and powerful. It is more reasonable to think that if a supernatural God ever exists, he is not all-loving, all-knowing and all-powerful. He is heartless and crazy. He is less powerful than the mighty force of nature. Dear East Coast friends, please don't panic. Please take real action to protect yourself, not just pray. Be safe.Take care !!!
