One of my current pet peeves is when someone tells me that the global warming debate is a load of crap; or that people who are talking about it are being extremists with some kind of agenda. I’ve found a new admiration for Al Gore who’s bringing this issue to the masses, I would admire him even if he wasn’t such a famous politician.

Some people out there claim global warming is a joke when temperatures reach very low levels or there is too much snow on the ground. Hello! That is a sign of global warming, a severely damaged atmosphere, the cause of floods, stronger than ever hurricanes and all those meteorological phenomena that makes us go “Wow!” — And while global warming isn’t new because it’s been studied that climate change has been responsible for the disappearance of species and civilizations in the past, in the present day we ARE responsible for making this climate change happen faster.

I am not a meteorologist or a scholar who’s an expert on global warming. I’m just a normal citizen of the world, concerned by the ignorance and the closed-mind of some people who think this issue is another political agenda. Maybe they should read more articles like The Curse of Akkad, where climate change is explained in simple words, and where anyone can see that this isn’t just another urban legend.
