It’s fun to read back and see that the same points are still being argued today. Great read Yaro.

Climate change effects everyone and it's an important topic to address. I work with Low Cost Power and while you're paying such careful attention to the environment you should also pay close attention to what you're spending for that energy. They can save you tons of money on your energy services.

I completely agree with you that it is, let’s say.. a bit unfair. Don’t get me wrong, I DO think that climate is very important and everyone should do as much as possible to improve Earth’s condition. However, nowadays, it is visible that there is a large influence of politics and business in it and I think it’s wrong.

Thanks for trying to bring more awareness to this. Although most people know about the current climate change, very few do anything to prevent it or prepare for it. If everyone does their part, it can add up to a huge difference. Unfortunately we are a society of convenience. That convenience comes before everything including the environment.

Those people who rely on politicians will be severaly dissapointed when it turns out they cannot help people. Peolpe should really realize that it is their consciousness that creates the sourrounding reality, not the other way round. Wake up people!

That’s a good point actually jucarii, this is something similar we talked about in my Microeconomics class at college, the fact that in a free market society, eventually there will be someone that will invest into projects such as global warming, because they care enough about it and don’t want to suffer the consequences and everyone else in society will benefit from it, thus it becomes a true public good. So my Econ professor says we shouldn’t worry as the market will take care of the climate problem.

Till then,

Hey Yaro,
The only thing we can change is ourselves. It might not seem like much but it can add up. I know we humans are affecting the Earth. Mother Earth will bring things into balance, on her terms. How that will affect us, I am sure we will find out.

This is a sensitive subject and enough and more has been said about it at various fora without my having to add to it. It is frustrating that everyone knows something needs to be done, but no one is doing anything about it. We need to do whatever it is that we need to do fast and every day is important but our leaders do not seem to consider the issue to be serious enough.

Dear KN,
I love what you are saying. People should become more conscious of the carbon footsteps we are making, myself included. It is about time that we realize the impact
of what we are doing to the earth, if not for ourselves, but for generations to come.
I’m so happy that Honda is worrying about the emissions. Every car maker should.Hooray for Honda! Let’s see the other car makers get on the clean air bandwagon.

The weather is the first indication that global warming is a reality and not a scare tactic conjured up by environmentalists. I live on the other side of the pond, in California USA. My city, San Francisco, climate has always been foggy and cool but just this year alone, we’ve had weird weather cycles. Imagine this: cold and windy one day and beautiful and sunny the very next. People get sick easily with this kind of weather. The cycle repeats itself for every month and we never had this kind of weather before. Our summer from June to August was cold & damp and then in September it was hot. I think rather than simply feeling defeated and accept what will come, everyone should be proactive and put efforts to reverse the damage to our planet. It’s never too late. I work for Honda and I see the changes to the cars my company invests in to make cleaner emission cars. All industries should be more socially and environmentally conscious.

Like or not, we are now go to the one point about climate change…
As blogger, we have to call everyone to save our planet by using their personal blog, post, forum and other way..

Well, this argument will rage and rage. For every climate change expert there is another sceptic telling us they’ve got it all wrong. The best we can do is keep talking about it and see what research throws up. However, its far too obvious that big money has a handle behind the scenes – in both camps! Thanks for the post, Yaro.

Yes Yaro, the most important issue that must be discuss and a concert part from most influence blogger. But the very important part is to take ACTION, not just only talk.

Thanks for that.

Hi Yaro!
The information you presented on Climate Change is very important for everyone. It is a shame that Blog Action Day wasn’t more publicized so that other media could focus on this topic as well. People are going to have to wake up now and realize that the changes we are already experiencing with the climate WILL get worse, not MIGHT get worse. Obviously, the situation is not bothering the masses or they would be “up in arms” about it. People don’t get energized about a change like this unless it affects them personally. One of these days it will. Then, we will want to do something about it. Then, it may be too late. Something needs to be done about it NOW.

By the way, I want to let you know that the free information I received on your blog site helped me to start my own blog. The site has only been up 2 days. I haven’t monetized it yet, but I will. Please take a look at it and let me know what you think and how I might improve on it. Right now, the articles are short. They will get longer with more detail as I get better and better. Thank you very much in advance.

Very timely, I guess we need a hard hit before we realize how we’ve been so careless with our environment. Although, the situation right now is a serious matter, we could find something positive over it, like voluntarism and unity towards a great cause. Yet, it’s still too bad we have gone this far before we realize that we are all advocates of our environment.

Hey Yaro,

I am writing a post on climate impact on me. It will be on my blog within few hours.

Such encouraging things are a wonderful way to create awareness as blogs controls a lot of readers worldwide and if even a single person from your blog start being serious about the climatic change than it will be a major difference.

Climate change used to be called global warming…it was only recently changed to climate change when the Obama rhetoric team came into office. The truth is that Global Warming doesn’t exist…and climate change is a naturally recurring cycle that happens about every thirty years (in the 70′s there was a big global cooling scare and the government purposefully emitted “greenhouse gasses” into the atmosphere). The truth is, we as humans don’t have as much power over the Earth as we’d like to think. That being said, I think that we should all be responsible, obviously it is important to respect the earth as any one of us would respect our own home..I try not to litter, or pollute the earth as much as the next guy. I believe that if it is in our power we should take steps to using alternative sources of energy, but not at the risk of bankrupting our nation…American families have to be the priority when considering legislation like “Cap and Trade” or as many like to call it “Cap and Tax”.

So remember, climate change is a naturally recurring cycle that happens with or without our help…and Global Warming is a business created by Al Gore, and many others who have large amounts of stock in “green” energy companies.

Don’t you think that, maybe, our desire to “fix” the weather and climate change is somewhat contradictory to our desire to not interfere with nature? It’s not necessarily our fault that climate change is occuring, considering the climate has changed so many times in earth’s long history.. we’re actually due for one

Of Course, changing of climate has a great impact on me, coz on my side i cannot easily adopt to the changing temperature like for example , from cold to hot.

Gordie, absolutely you are correct when you say one massive eruption can spew years worth of gasses and particles into the air.

Ideally we want to limit oil consumption for economic reasons as well but the idea of carbon credit trading just makes me think of other government run programs….

I like the idea of mandating higher MPG vehicles, the technology has been there but the will of the companies has not. They make more money selling the guzzlers than they could the more efficient vehicles. It took $5 a gallon gas to change that.

Recently, my country got struck by the earthquake and almost 800 people died, and this is the second time this disaster happened in the same area, the first one was Tsunami. And i keep wondering why many people there are realize that the area they are living is a source of disaster area but they keep living in that place. It’s obvious that people there is a stubborn human, they always think individually instead of as collective human. Why one of them can’t just lead the rally to leave that area or do some action. This goes the same with all the human on this planet, they just dont care about the environment and future of the next generation after them, as long as they can make lots of money, then they are fine.

Climate change is a natural process that has happened to our planet hundreds of years ago…our planet obviously survived the last change as we are still here.

Recycling plastic bags isn’t going to stop temperatures getting hotter however all the hype helps to create great business opportunities for cunning businesses wanting to cash in on the planets natural way of changing!!

What happened to global warming? – BBC
Oct 10, 2009
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8299079.stm

This headline may come as a bit of a surprise, so too might that fact that the warmest year recorded globally was not in 2008 or 2007, but in 1998.

But it is true. For the last 11 years we have not observed any increase in global temperatures.

And our climate models did not forecast it, even though man-made carbon dioxide, the gas thought to be responsible for warming our planet, has continued to rise.
So what on Earth is going on?

Climate change sceptics, who passionately and consistently argue that man’s influence on our climate is overstated, say they saw it coming.

The message that “it will be too late” is a sad one. We take a few talking heads, a warm day, and some bad science and shout, “It will be too late!” and everyone starts trying to evoke action. It is just like smelling burned popcorn and running into the crowded theatre to yell, “Fire!”

Is C02 a green house gas? We don’t know. The carbon cycle in what makes life work. So I don’t think we can call it a pollutant.

I care about the environment because I live in it. But I don’t think we have any idea of reducing carbon emissions will help or hurt the problem. Let me explain.

There are two basic ideas (yes I have heard many ideas, but I have limited space here). Idea 1: Producing and emitting CO2 into the environment causes the greenhouse effect, thus global warming and climate change. Idea 2: Global Warming causes a rise in the CO2 levels in the environment as the way that the ecosystem prevents runaway warming.

Evidence: If I take a glass box, and I put some dirt in it. Then seal the box and heat it up with a sunlamp, surprise, it fills with CO2. Now I take the same glass box and I fill it with CO2 and shine a sunlamp on it. Well, it also heats up, but not as much because the cloudy CO2 blocks the light. (wow, you mean clouds block the sunlight? Only people who have never been outside should be surprised.)

Conclusion: CO2 counteracts global warming.

If we are really going to do something about the weather, we really do need to figure out how it works. The evidence that is brought to the table by climatologists is computer models. And you can make them say anything. But they don’t have real experiments that support them. This is bad science, and it gets people like me, all worked up about not very much. (and all this hot air is the real cause of GW.)

a very serious issue, but it has no marketing, no money opportunities in it..so no one`s interested in climate change

what do you do to protect the climate, the earth? nothing… we all do NOTHING

What a bunch of sappy comments. Climate change is a battle about Cap&Trade. Cap&Trade is about turning CO2 into a tradeable commodity. Carbon trading will be worth trillions annually, eventually becoming the single largest commodity market in the world. Why do you think AL Gore is so motivated? because he will become a Carbon Baron and the worlds first carbon billionaire. If I had the prospect of billions sitting in my lap, I’d lie about saving the planet to anyone who would listen. So get with the program folks, it’s about the money.

All of this sappy talk about the end of the world is absolutly bizaare. You folks need to slash your wrists and end it all now.
