What happen to peoples rational thinking and common sense nowadays. I've been watching this debates on tv organized by BBC on debate about Climate Changes participated by world leaders and interested party in Copenhagen last Sunday morning. The debate guest includes few leaders represeting smaller and bigger country discussing among themselve about solution to the above matter. My 1 hour listening and watching on these people debating
and promising a future for world free polution seems to be much waste of my time since non of them able to come out with a "concrete" solution, instead they way they talk are very much more to political subject rather than straight to the point what causes the polution. Their answer seems to be very vague and ambiguous as if they try to hide hidden agenda and stay away from sensitive issue, their facial expression and tones reveal hidden aura. Yes the hidden agenda definately be oil, gas, infra-structure development and defence program. These factor actually contribute high rate of polution produce by the activity because the machinery runs it produce thermal waste and CO2 products. However stopping it may cause deterioration of human urban and technology development which could improve our standard of living. Sometimes we come to a cross road wether we have to choose development for human improvement or improvement to the eco system, thus both must reached balanced equation just like YIN and YANG terminology for both human and eco interest.
The problem with todays pollution is that the production of Carbon Dioxide (Co2), industrial
wastage in the waters and thermal heat generated by human activity especially machinery are produced at very fast rate, too fast for natural environment such as green plants, sea plankton and earth atmosphere to absorb and dispose/filter the waste naturally by the environment. Too fast and we will have surplus of unprocessed waste pollution around the globe. Before the era of automobiles and machinery where oils wasn't much of a commodity in every households in early 1900 the earth weather remain balanced, there no issue about plantation crops running out of water, weather disaster or heat stroke occur in every country. By 1980's with the introduction of computer technology, fast processing power aid businesses to run faster and produce more products in shorter time. Thus fast mean produce product at fast rate, delivery of product at fast rate, digging raw material at fast ratethat includes cutting down the forest for material and urban development and consumer demand also seem to be at fast pace. When things going at fast rate, business entity including public will harness the power of machinery to produce, process and deliver product at shorter time period. This means there will be more factory machinery and transportation to solve the production and delivery problem. All these machinery need to be fueled with gas, petrol, diesel, coal burning and thermal power from coal reactor or worse nuclear powered plant. The world evolve too fast in just 10 years but the trees such as flora and fauna only grow at much little rate than that.
As you can see the problem actually lies on rapid development of urban and consumer need. This contribute much pollution to the environment. For people fast development means more profit or should we say money, with money you repeat again the polution
cycle by investing on consumer related production which in turn more machinery and technological work force. If they slow down the "development" at rate by 50% then it would have reduce the consumption of fossil fuel which produce thermal pollution and chemical pollution on waters from consumer factory...slow enough for earth natural flora and fauna to catch up and take time to filter and convert the pollution into safer material such as oxygen or sedimens to be sunk into seas. At the same time nation should concentrate growing plantation crops for food and other plants to balance the eco system but at the same time these activity generate profit and development in food supplies chain throughout the world.
What so hard about finding solution to Climate change problem? Easy! put the brakes on the global economy..you're runing to fast. Slow down, relax and flow smooth like waters in calm river. World leaders should cut down working hours of its people from 8am-5pm change to 9am-3pm. That should reduce world material waste. At the same time more time allowance for family to enjoy outdoor activity and do something usefull in the afternoon and evening.
