OK, I know, but before Keyser Soze (the usual suspects) start in on me for my lack of belief in AGW, the tooth fairy or the easter bunny, have a look
below at the links provided.
There are many things wrong with our planet, some of them due to human activity, beyond any shadow of a doubt.
And this is my main bugbear with GW or climate change or whatever they happen to be calling it this week - the real problems that we can actually do
something about are not making the news.
The real problems and things we can change and affect are going unnoticed - instead people are concentrating their efforts on tripe like
this
Here come the links - let me just say, before people attack sources, that this is an overview intended to bring about discussion and debate.
The list is not exhaustive and should not be construed as such
The Great Pacicfic Garbage Patch
Rainforest Depletion
Landfill
Toxic Waste US
Toxic Waste UK
Radioactive Waste
Water Pollution US
Water Pollution UK
Plastics
Oil Spills
There are of course many more instances of how we are harming our environment (feel free to add your own) but they all have one thing in common -
WE HUMANS ARE TO BLAME
Each and every one of us can start by making a small difference - but it's always worth checking where your recycling goes, for instance as you can
see from
this article
In my opinion, it's time to stop the factional fights between those who believe and those who don't believe in AGW or climate change, and
concentrate on the thinngs which are really affecting the planet.
If we all take an interest, we CAN make a difference.
