Global warming: a media hype?

I am watching a TV show debating some topics and the first one is the global warming issue. “It was made a hype by the media..”, and comments that all these things people try to do to help make it better are silly. I’m not sure, but to me they were just talking politics and winning the next elections.. Show was ‘Morgen beter’ on Belgians best channel Canvas (Monday 27th November 2006).

Humans are screwing up mother earth. It’s a damn fact. They were all against the radioactive waste being dumped in the oceans. Well, that waste didn’t screw up as bad as what we did for 200 years with just warming our houses and driving around.

Last Saturday, first hours in Belgium, a woman was talking in French saying “.. oh yeah, it’s still warm. It’s great, we can save money on the heating! But you know what is terrible? In the morning, it’s hard to figure out what to wear.” I was ready to hit her in the face.

Yes, I drove a car last weekend. I feel bad about it, but damn I wanted to drive again just to have some practice (and enjoy it too). But I do feel bad about, it makes me angry to see us all just burning out our environment. I’m polluting myself, but damn I’m trying my best to minimize it everyday..
