OT - Earth Hour 2008 online

[Guest guest]

I must admit to having a leaning toward believing

that people are least partially responsible for some

of the problems relative to global warming, etc. but

that is more a feeling than fact based on what I do

or do not know. Nevertheless the mention of the

Ice Age not being caused by humans did make

me wonder. Wikipedia has some interesting

information on causes and it seems to indicate

that it is all theory and nothing is truly conclusive

(okay, I skimmed it, so won't swear to that).

Nevertheless it looked like it would be interesting

for people to read.

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_age

 

Relative to people not causing atmospheric changes,

considering the number of people on the earth and

the things used and built by people on the earth I

have a hard time believing that we're not effecting

the earth somehow and just because the ice age

wasn't caused by humans doesn't mean that other

atmospheric problems aren't caused by humans.

I don't think it is logically correct to say,

the ice age wasn't caused by humans, thus global

warming isn't caused by humans.

The second part of the statement may or may not

be true but it does not logically follow from the

first statement.

 

However, I agree, turning off the lights for an hour

isn't going to help much.

I turned my lights off for Earth Hour but more so as an example to my

children. We try to be " green " in our daily life. I think the big issue is

what are people doing on a day to day basis over the long term. Not just

for one hour.

coming ), I'm in an article in 'Better Homes & Gardens', April

Issue, " How to Grow Green Kids "
