an inconvenient truth

how do you feel about the environment in general? how do you feel about global warming as an issue? how much do you know about the issue? have you tried to learn more? have you taken any steps to save the environment? do you sometimes feel that as a single person whatever you do will not make an impact? what if everyone in the world thinks like you, and therefore doesn't do a thing? think about that.

everyone can do something about it. here's 10 things you can do immediately that will start making a difference today to your carbon dioxide emission contribution..

ignoring the fact that global warming is here today, and is making a huge impact even as we speak, makes you as much of an ignorant, profiteering, morally bankrupt idiot as George W. Bush and the people in his administration. if you read or watched or heard a news item about global warming and said to yourself "Not my business", then you are guilty. yes, guilty. this is your business. you can do something about it. you are morally responsible the second you read this line. now. and for every minute you live after you read this, you are responsible for your actions, and their consequences to the environment. if you choose to ignore this, then i can only wish you a good night's sleep, because you must be really deaf to your conscience to be able to look yourself in the eye knowing that you did nothing to save this world, for ourselves and our children.

i take it you're still reading because this is something that interests you. i watched 'An Inconvenient Truth' today, i don't know why i had been putting it off. it's Al Gore's documentary about his struggles as he tries to tell the world about global warming. now all of you who know me also know that i am deeply distrustful of politicians and their gimmickry, but having been in science as long as i have, i was able to verify every one of the things he spoke about. in fact, i have no reason to believe the man, i hate his wife Tipper Gore with a passion, because of her stand on music censorship! but yet, this time, i had to listen to my conscience, because i am responsible for what i do, and the consequences.

what can you do? you can learn as much as you can about global warming. convince yourself first about the problem, before you try spreading the word. watch 'An Inconvenient Truth', get the DVD from somewhere. if you are in the US email me with your address and i will mail you a copy. go to the website. talk to people around you. believe it or not, you can make a difference.

pledge to do your part.. and thank you for reading this. this is your responsibility too now.
