Climate change, an issue that worries us all. Watch this video by National Geographic to get a comprehensive analysis of the situation and its necessary solutions. Carmen Jiménez
If you pay attention to the weather forecast during a week, you'll see they can't know for sure if it will rain next week, how can they predict what will happen hundreds, thousands or millions of years ahead?.
I agree we have to look after our planet, but I also see that global warming is a big business form many people.
Dear Antonio: We can do two things: We can trust in scientists and climatic evidences or trust in oil companies and some politicians. We can act right now reducing CO2 emisions or do nothing (hoping that scientists would be wrong). I rely more on scientists (they don't win anything saying the true) and I try to do what I can in order to save The Earth (with you and me in it, of course). The problem is far worse than you think, so I hope you read a little more about it and you understand that temperature has already increased and it would increase between 2 and 4 degrees if we continue emiting so much carbon dioxide.
Maybe some of us, the richest, can afford to ignore the facts mentionated on the video. Perhaps that's why nobody does nothing.
