so annoying but anyways,
read Happiness is a Warm Planet by Thomas Gale Moore.
let's talk about today's assignment shall we?
Topic: The government should reduce global warming even if it costs jobs.
My stand on this? Negative.
Why? Here's what I've got to say.
First of all, some background information. Global warming is happening and has been happening. Most people know that the levels of CO2 are rising and the supposed reason for global warming. Through CO2, we get the greenhouse effect, which essentially is heating up the earth as it traps the heat in our atmosphere and makes it difficult for the heat to escape. Although people blame global warming on CO2, they have only been listening to one side and not the entire story. What many people haven't heard of is the climatologist's point of view as they say that temperature is what is leading the levels of CO2, with hundreds in years in the gaps. For instance, a used statement was that during the spur of industrialization, with man-made CO2 from plants and etc, yet the weather seemed to have gotten cooler. Meaning, the reasons for CO2 causing global warming is not necessarily truth, valid maybe as an option, but not exactly true.
Anyways, many people believe that CO2 is the monster creating this heat mess, as people like Algore was promoting this idea and concept based on a lot of economic sources if I am not mistaken. There are numerous jobs with machines and plants in the US that releases CO2 into the atmosphere with the burning of fossil fuels and exhaust from cars and who knows what else. However, is it right to reduce global warming (*aherm, get rid of the excess CO2) even if it means the loss of people's jobs? Many people work in factories in such that produces such gases, and getting rid of companies that does so would completely turn the world chaotic. We are already in the midst of a depression and the more loss of jobs in an attempt to "better the planet" by lowering global warming is not the best idea, more of a tragedy. Rather than the government themself trying to reduce global warming, they should just promote ideas to the nation with simple tasks. Tasks that everybody can do to contribute in the process, tasks like changing to electric/hybrid cars (for those who can afford it), carpooling, recycling, conscious of water/energy usage and others. I do not believe that it is worth it to ruin the lives of many families by getting rid of their financial needs by closing down factories and such that emits CO2.
And there you have it you guys, my point on global warming and how the government should reduce global warming even if it costs jobs. I would love to go more in depth with this all but I prefer not talking about topics I am not too familiar with at all because I would probably confuse you and me! So, checking out and catch me later (:
