Forgive the non Web- or technology-based post, but the current climate change debate has really made me angry.

First of all, I have no problems with people having their own views and ideas and I’m not about to suggest some sort of dictatorship where everyone is told what to think (even if the views of some are completely ridiculous). I do, however, have a huge problem with the logic used by many climate change skeptics out there.

The logic of the skeptics seems to be that climate change is not caused by humans, or it doesn’t even exist, so therefore we don’t need to do anything about pollution. If we’re not causing climate change then there’s apparently no reason to stop pumping out disgusting amounts of carbon dioxide and other fun chemicals into the atmosphere.

Climate change should not even be part of the debate here. We should only be considering what the state of our planet will be in the near future. I’d like to breathe air in fifty years time rather than yellow smog.
