Manmade Global Warming: The Solution
Pat Sajak · Jul. 25 at 11:49am
Manmade global warming, like so many other social and economic issues, has become hopelessly politicized. Each side has dug in its heels and has accused the other of acting irresponsibly and dishonestly. For the believers, the other side has become the equivalent of Holocaust deniers; and for the doubters, the other side has become a cult intent on manipulating mankind to remake the world in some sort of natural Utopian image.
The divide has become so great, it seems virtually impossible to bridge the gap. However, Im not writing for Ricochet merely to outline problems; Im here to offer real solutions. And Im not just blowing carbon dioxide.
Lets assume that a third of the worlds population really believes mankind has the power to adjust the Earths thermostat through lifestyle decisions. The percentage may be higher or lower, but, for the sake of this exercise, lets put it at one-third. Now it seems to me these people have a special obligation to change their lives dramatically because they truly believe catastrophe lies ahead if they dont. The other two-thirds are merely ignorant, so they can hardly be blamed for their actions.
Now, if those True Believers would give up their cars and big homes and truly change the way they live, I cant imagine that there wouldnt be some measurable impact on the Earth in just a few short years. Im not talking about recycling Evian bottles, but truly simplifying their lives. Even if you were, say, a former Vice President, you would give up extra homes and jets and limos. I see communes with organic farms and lives freed from polluting technology.
Then, when the rest of us saw the results of their actionsyou know, the earth cooling, oceans lowering, polar bears frolicking and glaciers growingwe would see the error of our ways and join the crusade voluntarily and enthusiastically.
How about it? Why wait for governments to change us? You who have already seen the light have it within your grasp to act in concert with each other and change the world forever. And I hate to be a scold, but you have a special obligation to do it because you believe it so strongly. Then, instead of looking at isolated tree rings and computer models, youd have real results to point to, and even the skeptics would see the error of their ways and join you.
So start Tweeting each other and get the ball rolling. Well anxiously await results. See, I told you I had the solution. My work here is done.
