I love the global warming debate. People with no knowledge of anything but what the local or national news reports debate on scientific evidence that is subjectively fed to produce emotional responses. Some of the information is (by scientist) admittedly not complete or correct. It is the greatest scam but yet the biggest problem in the world all at the same time.
I find that funny that people involve themselves in heated discussions, argue fact as only from what they heard or better said "choose to hear", and then sit back and feel at ease because they have justified the reason they are driving their gas guzzling SUV. To go a little farther into this; they feel better about why they feel the need to drive their gas guzzling SUV, as in "if I don't have this Yukon 4x4 to bring the kids to soccer practice who will accept me as worthy of attention."
It is not about what you choose and has everything to do with why you choose it!
I do not want to go into the purpose of the material things we choose in life but more of why we choose it and what it means to let it go. To let go of something that we hold valuable, like a lifestyle, understandably makes many people uncomfortable. The debate of Global Warming is right on target with the idea of, it will inconvenience many people's lifestyle.
Since our way of life is to identify ourselves through our ideas and possessions we build upon, I believe Global Warming coming along and possibly changing our comfortable lives, the one that we use to numb our life's pain through association of useless, wasteful consumerist belongings, is more of a problem to people than which scientist is right or wrong. To say that Global Warming is an issue would be another misidentification of the real issue, which is the one we have with ourselves.
The decisions we make and that ultimately lead to the "Global issues" and "crises'" are really problems with ourselves and are yet another attempt to cover up our internal issues so we do not have to deal with it. When it comes to outside issues like global warming, we seemingly spend our time fighting for it or denying the existence of it, both ways facilitate forgetting or denying our real problems.
We will hold on untill the last second!
Some may say this is a bold statement, but the life we lead today is mostly to cover up emotional shortcomings. We have become comfortable with what we have and know and looks like we cannot or will not let it go no matter what the stakes are. The population will hold on to ideas that hold valuable psychological safety without any regard to life itself. Unless we seek or find that the destruction of our world is really from the destruction similar to that of inside our heads and deal with it, we cannot and will not stop.
