We should just go ahead and do our worst and damn the consequences?
I for one think that this whole "Global Warming- Climate Change" issue is a farce, being VERY good at alarming the population. But like Earth-quakes, Tsunamis, Drought and Floods is a normal part of the planetary cycles.
Having said the above I am also of the opinion that these natural factors are being utilised to "scare" the global population into funding the clean up necessary to reduce pollution of the global systems. So far I am yet to see any 'clean-up' and would dearly love to know where all the money has gone that has been collected thus far.
And so I at least am very sceptical of the whole movement, it's science (or the political hijacking there of), and the will of global governments (including the UN) of the resolve to actually clean-up our pollution. The design of our house and the estate it sits in tick ALL the necessary boxes for sustainability and environmental sensitivity.... but we are just one of many such estates here in Western Australia.
