Hey, did you know if you have the most money when the planet is no loner capable of sustaining life, you win? Well at least that’s what the oil and coal industries believe. They’ve recently unleashed the hounds and sent them attacking any legislation that would reform clean energy.
All evidence shows that our use of carbon based fuels is causing serious harm to our environment. Beyond the scientific evidence, we also have common sense. If you spew chemicals into the air, the delicate balance of air will be thrown off. We’ll begin breathing stuff we were never meant or designed to breathe.
This isn’t something future either. We can see these effects now in the environment, in the increased rate of specie extinctions, and in our own bodies. It’s indisputable, and getting worse. Yet the oil and coal industries will tell you its not really happening, and that we’re just going through a normal Earth warm-up cycle.
Even if this were true, and its not, contributing to the effects of “a natural global warming” will still set the process off balance and put life as we know it in jeopardy. So regardless of the facts, the oil and coal industries are just blowing smoke. Whatever unnatural things we do to our environment will have and are having an impact.
We are in a battle for time, and its running out.
The sad truth is, when money and profits become more important than the quality of life, then there’s something gravely wrong with today’s version of Capitalism. It too was meant to be balanced, with a steady flow of give and take to keep the economy healthy, not to be a “winner take all” scenario, and certainly not at the expense of our quality of life on this planet.
So if you’re exposed to their “Pollution is Prosperity” tour, tell the oil and coal companies its time to start using their heads for more than number crunching.
Lies can kill!
