Global Politicians Blame Each Other and Ignore Climate Change

Climate change is causing species extinction at a rate approximately 1,000 times normal. Leading politicians seldom take a strong stand on the crisis.  Instead it is easy for countries to blame each other and do nothing specific to address the issue.

The United Nations climate summit in Copenhagen is quickly approaching and climate change is our most substantial problem as living organisms. Our climate is being dramatically affected as we demolish coral reefs, wetlands, and forests. The earth has too many people for it to maintain a healthy infrastructure.

Politicians think that climate change is not a priority as of now, but think more of it being something to worry about in the future. In past cases US would blame China and India for mass production and developing countries would blame the industrialization of the western countries. Many world leaders and politicians are scared to talk about climate change, let alone take action on the issue.

Groups such as the Royal Society of the Protection of Birds are pushing for immediate action. The government has been promising change since a convention in 1992 at the Rio Earth Summit, but still no changes. We are in a state of a man made climate change and without direct attention we will have no fisheries, forests, wildlife, wetlands, or a functioning earth. Society needs to look into our potential problems and our governments need to react immediately.

    There is no anthropogenic climate-change! And if, we couldn’t do anything against it. Reducing co² emission wouldn’t affect our CLIMATE (This thing which is that complex, we can not even say what the weather will looks like in a month)

    In germany sceptical a climate-scientist is being forced to visit a psychiatrist! Just like tax investigators, determining against big banks and the public servants being affected.

    I want to thank those who have written replies basically denying the fact of human-caused climate change. They have helped me realize the psychology behind the denial. I am not referring to the bought-and-paid-for PR spokespeople who masquerade as scientiests; their psychology is simple greed, but for the regular people who deny this reality, it seems to me that the psychology is more like the child who thinks that if you deny a reality it will go away. Unfortunately, life doesn’t work that way.

    I’ll tell you one thing: In Germany in the 1960s, a whole younger generation turned on their parents and demanded answers to the question: “What were you doing when Hitler committed all those crimes?” A younger generation here will be turning on us older ones and asking of us: “How did you allow the Earth to become so degraded?” Some of us will have a very hard time answering that question.

    It has been proven by hackers that the IPCC via its organization “Climat Research Unit” has fabricated many “evidence”.
    Just search he internet for “CRU hackers” – this spares me the elaboration. But the least one can say is, that those “scientists” are just a bunch of cheaters which deserve hehavy penalties.
    Regretably there are many “experts” who are already downplaying the facts. Many questions have to be raised, how this gigantic fraud could have happended and many politically heads should roll down the gutter – including he secret services like CIA, MI5/6 etc. who didn’t know or just didn’t report about it.

  5. Gutter protection systems can keep your home protected by keeping leaves from clogging your gutters and causing water to overflow causing damage to fascia boards, siding and landscaping. Gutter protection is very cost effective compared to the expense having your home waterproofed would be.
