Like many this is how u and many have been molded by this
economic world with the word "MONEY" strongly ingrained. And MONEY
is indeed in the minds of many including the scientist and
politicians. But don't u put ur life in front of money? Climate
change is not just about money, it about loss of lives, a place to
live in and much more and it's going to be happening to me, you,
your loved ones and many others.
Many scientist throughout the world has already come to this
conclusion. Scientist are mostly extremely smart ppl and agenda of
money comes little to their mind. Mingle with scientist and u know
that some scientists look little on money when there is more than
what usually they can use. Work up the ladder and u will know why
there are more and more cases of ppl who retire a lucrative
managerial and directorial posts to become kindergarden teachers,
social workers, animal protectionists, etc. Scientist value a lot
of their work and findings.
Don't discredit that they are scientist. The issue of whether the
recent years of climate change is a natural cycle of earth and
interaction with the sun have been considered. The current answer
is clearly no.
Frankly, the world is doomed to brave the coming era of global
climate change. Our economic world has been too successful in
ingraining the importance of wealth. China, India, Indonesia,
Brazil are unlikely to do anything and Indonesia actually is
suggesting that the richer nations pay them to do sth. It will take
Mother Earth to hit stronger before some nations wake up.
Go visit our neighbour flood victims and see how worried they are
about rebuilding their homes and whether at all they should because
the flood is likely to come back again.
If you also think Singapore is safe? Think again. We are in a
geographical safe region but climate change may change that. Flood
can hit us when rain gets heavier and sea level rise, drought can
hit us and fresh water supply can become a big problem, food can
become extremely pricy when global climate affects farming
seriously, more new virus will surface which can be deadly to man.
What does all these mean?
While we painstakingly try hard to get lots of money and
materialistic gains to live easier at the expense of our
environment, we, on the contrary, will end up suffering more in a
harsher world that will getting angrier and angrier.
