RE: My doubt about climate change was cleared.
Everyone has their own opinion about climate change, and I respect that. However, in recent years, I've become cautious when considering what people think and say about it. Yes, the weather has been unusually erratic lately, but we lack long-term data to fully understand historical climate patterns. Our records only go back about 100 years, which is a mere blip in Earth's millions of years of existence. Can we truly claim to have single-handedly destroyed the planet in just the last century? Yes we need to be coution with the burning of fossil fuels, as we know that this significantly contributing to climate change. And yes, we need to act now to help both present and future generations. This will definitely be a big problem in the future. But still, one more time, everyone has his own opinion...
I think that the technological advancements recorded in the last century or within a few more years are more pronounced than the advancements recorded in preceding centuries or millennia.
The main causative factors of global warming like burning of fossil fuels can't be said to be in existence even when the deposits of petroleum haven't been discovered anywhere.
Agents of pollution like indiscriminate dumping of plastics and non biodegradable chemicals are all our realities of recent years.
We may not have data beyond the last 100 to 200 years but we are sure, to a large extent, of some activities that were never in existence those years.
However, I agree with you on the fact that an individual has his or her own opinion about climate change which has to be respected.
Personally, I am convinced that human activities of the past few centuries have a consequence on the planet earth.
What bothers me personally the most is environmental pollution. We try to recycle waste, and they have also introduced penalties if you throw waste in the wrong bin. But while certain countries are really trying to do this, there are still countries that do not pay attention to it, and therefore a small percentage of countries cannot make a change. It will take a long time for the world to start realizing that climate change is not such a problem, but that pollution is what will destroy us...
