Here's Why People Who Deny Global Warming Are Missing The Whole Point!

Sometimes i get really frustrated when I watch powerful individuals debunk Global Warming and use that as an excuse to carry on promoting and using things like fossil fuels. The reason I get frustrated isnt because I'm 100% certain that they are wrong! I've been involved with Climate Change and Carbon Footprinting since 2001 and I also have a solid scientific background in Biology. I can say that it may be possible, at least in theory, that Global Warming is the result of other natural factors that happen in long cycles. We may just be adding to that but may not be the cause..

Now, no body can 100% prove that point one way or another!

BUT

What we can say 100% are several very important key things that every denier seems to totally ignore. 

The first issue is that many people (especially Climate Change Deniers) focus too much on carbon dioxide and the term 'Global Warming'  when considering use of Coal and other fuels. The bigger issue to me are things like air pollution and millions of premature deaths in many of the most developed cities in the world. 

So here's the real story that everyone just seems to ignore!  Whilst people are debating and denying  whether or not  Climate Change is linked to Human activities, they are missing the real issues! The real issues are actually quite varied, but one major issue is that more people die of respiratory disease in the world than from terrorist attacks.  A lot more. Smog and pollution is a serious problem, and there is a pretty long list of other effects of smog on nature and wildlife too! if I asked you to guess how many people worldwide die from air pollution I wonder what you would say. Whilst this is a very hard number to accurately estimate, it is widely accepted now that up to .. wait for it .... 5.5 MILLION deaths* worldwide occur per year due to air pollution!!! And people are still stuck debating CO2??? Something very strange going on here!

We have to realize that is is inevitable that sooner or later fossil fuels will run out.. If we look at the state of the Climate today and take heed of the many and varied  warnings we are receiving; there is not much to deny! We can't keep growing and consuming exponentially whilst we're on the same planet! Ask any bacteria and it will confirm this!.. At some point you just run out everything and its all gets very messy and nasty! We have to change the way we do things. The good news  is that the alternatives are already out there, and there are even MANY options! 

Our planet could easily sustain a population much greater than it is right now,  but only when we start thinking and acting smart. Have you noticed how when you fly that most of the world looks totally empty! There is plenty of space, we just have to figure out how to use it properly.  We know how to do things quite well when we try! There are many people setting this example and working hard to start new trends. 

When we work in harmony with our environment,  everything we do works to support it and as a by product of our actions. This happens automatically when we do things properly! When we do thing Sustainably, we no longer have to keep compensating for our actions. Instead our actions are already supportive and in multiple ways.  Therefore the more we do, the better everything gets. That is the ethos of sustainability. It reminds me of Steemit actually! Centralized anything is just not a good idea! That definitely applies to power generation! 

It's high time we start discussing the real issues in the mainstream media.. Even today no-one even is even yet asking the right questions!

If this post gave you an insight that you didn't know before, PLEASE re-steem! I think people need to understand the issues so much better and there is not nearly enough dialogue about it.
