Yes indeed, some are just not looking around, using their eyes and ears, and watching what is actually happening around this planet we rely on. Instead they spend time just reading non-mainstream, "reports" that completely ignore what the real environmental scientist and other specialists in that areana, from around the World, are stating backed up by their factual reports.
How do you know they are factual?
Did you really just ask that? You'll be sorry
It's a simple question that deserves a simple concise answer!
It does
The simple answer is not just one, but dozens that have been compliled across the globe by established and very respected scientists in this field who have convinced with facts the majority of governments, United Nations, and NGO's, that we are in trouble and action has to be taken now.
That is good enough for me as who am I to argue against that weight of concensus? What is the problem anyway with doing that, when around us is the evidence of environmental 'pressures' and distress on this Planet? Why not work to reduce pollution, waste, and general environmental distruction that is damaging our children, grand children, and every adult lives, often very silently and not obviously?
Why not go on from the basic controls on pollution that this country did with the Clean Air Act 1956 which rid us of the smogs of the 1950's, and be part of the clean up of the World's environment caused by our industrial past, along with current pollution caused by plastics, chemicals, and emissions from many sources? What is the problem in pushing the likes of the USA (Trump!) and China to clean up their acts, and for instance shame the latter into ceasing the building of more coal fired power stations? What is the problem in going for newer, electric, or hydrogen cell forms of transport and rid ourselves of our vehicles that have been proved to be polluting the air in cities that in the mildest form children are having breathing ailments in growing numbers, and at worst, 1950's style London smogs as seen in China? Why argue against clearing the World's seas of at least some of our waste plastic, and the dumping of the West's waste on third World countries?
If you or anyone else think I am going to cut and paste endless reports backing the need for action, and citing endless examples of what is happening out in the big wide world, as somebody else continues to do on this forum, with pages of text, with 'conspiracies' being suggested to back up their argument, you must be joking!
But, the bottom line is why worry about cleaning up our act? What is wrong in doing what we know, in (most of ) our brains and hearts is the right thing? Do we as people really think the dumping of waste where ever we like is fine, or tipping pollutants into the air or our waters, is OK?
What harm can come out of doing that right thing? What are some worried about? Or is it they just like to argue against wiser scientists and international bodies to look good, and again enjoy a good 'conspiracy' theory on their cut and paste contributions online for political reasons?
