We live in an age where convenience dominates all sales markets.
Internet is fast, mobile phones are cheaper and most of the population own a car.
Unsurprisingly then, over the last 50 years global warming has increased to an alarming level.
The other day i decided to watch: An Inconvenient Truth.
Before i saw this i thought that Global Warming was somewhat of an urban myth, created by goody goodies to scare us into cutting carbon emissions.
How wrong could i be? This film clearly demonstrates sufficient evidence that is undeniable.
The shocking statistics really were an inconvenient truth!!
It was shown that if the shelf-ice in Greenland and Antarctica melts, it will effect the sea current in between America and the UK and effectively rise the sea level by 20ft. In turn, severely damaging many cities all over the world.
The overall moral message was clearly to encourage America to make small cut-backs which will contribute to solving this 'ticking time bomb'.
Everybody is guilty. We are a lazy population and are encouraged to chose the 'easier' option. such as driving to the shop 5 minutes down the road. But, all we are really doing is spiting ourselves. If global warming continues we will destroy the world. Is the convenience really worth it?
If you don't agree, please watch the film before replying!!
Very true. I do think that it is just laziness and self-absorbtion. No one cares about the generations in front of us and no one really cares about the people around us, if they arent in our loved circle. No one wants to rethink their actions and the way that they consume in the world and it is really unfortanate. I hate that people dont "believe" in global warming. Its like not believing in the sun. Its idiotic. No matter what you want to call it we are going through a climate change and it is not a natural thing, it is because we are using up the worlds resources too quickly.
