Is Global Warming concerns "uncool"?

I recently bought an electric scooter for my short commute to work, and people had questions about it.

Most people have determined that it's not "cool" to ride an electric scooter, when they determined it has limited range and speed, even though it has no problem doing the trip I wanted it for.

It came to my mind that this may be the thing about the global warming issue. I hear people talking about it, both for and against the theory, but I watch people driving massive SUV's, with only one person in them. Some people need an SUV, I know that, and some people are going to pick up a troop of scouts, and that is ok too, but everyone? I don't think so!

When I have to drive (weather, temperature etc.) I use my WVO running Mercedes! I have to run some diesel, because I don't always get enough WVO. Anyway, I can do it, and I do not suffer at all, so I think there is a coolness factor to not doing anything, anyone concur or disagree?

Update:

To clarify, I think that some people ignore the problem, because there are people living too decadent, and choose to ignoer the problem in order to continue their lifstyle without change.

    I think the same question applies as to whether or not it is cool to treat animals like furniture, pot plants, fashion accessories and ignoring the fact that all animals are living, breathing, feeling and thinking beings.

    In the animal world, one needs to exercise enormous patience and endure endless frustrations when communicating with people who are ignorant and believe that humans are better and hold greater rights. How cool is it to tie a Yorkie to a rocket of 'fireworks'? Push a cat down the spikes at the top of a gate? Destroy Rain Forests and make entire animal species homeless or worse still burn it down, roasting the animals 'trapped' alive?

    Those who do not understand that by protecting the natural world, which provides and sustains our ability to live and survive on this planet, think it is their God given right, to abuse animals and other humans, based on sexism, racism or intimidate by religiously aggravated harassment, fail to recognise that in essence they destroy their own life. Furthermore they have the mentality of any regular crook behind bars for committing murder or even just a petty crime.

    With the element of Choice and Free Will, each person is responsible only for their own Causes and why final judgement lives in the heart of each individual, whether they know it or are ignorant to this fact. Ignorance in the eye of the Law is no excuse. Good is good and bad is bad. Death is not the easy way out, especially when we may be returning to the same life, in another body.

    So to answer your question, Global Warming is a THREAT to our Existence and every Cause made to extend life is rewarded. None of us can change the entire world in one life, but we can make contributions towards our own world. To determine life as cool or uncool is a matter of opinion. An Ant values its own existence and only a parasite in the bowels of a Lion can destroy this mighty of all Beasts.

    Friedrich NIETZSCHE states there is only one threat to life and the most dangerous virus of all is called 'HUMAN'!

    How cool is that? A little knowledge can be very dangerous and people are incredibly stupid!

    Global warming is cool! Al Gore says so, and we all know that whatever Al Gore says is the gospel truth.

    Now if Al Gore would just stop emitting green house gasses through his anus maybe there would not be any global warming.

    Personally I like global warming. I hate cold weather. I'm going to buy a ranch in Antarctica before it gets warm there, while the price is still cheep.

    I don't care if it gets so hot in the Middle East that all the oil boils up spontaneously out of the ground. Antarctica will be a paradise. California can fry in hell too as far as I'm concerned.

    California people are always the people who most complain about global warming. Yet, they have had smog and pollution way before anyone else.

    There is more pollution in liberal California than anywhere else in the world because the California hypocrites all have a car exhaust pipe coming out their a$$es.

    Oh in case you at the instant are not in contact then it must be authentic. ha ha ha. advantageous. All and that i do mean one hundred% of Scientists have self belief in international climate substitute. They variety on if guy is having an result on it. So first you're being silly approximately casting aside international climate substitute as non existent. Snow in u . s . a . in iciness of one twelve months does not mean climate substitute isn't happening. it is "international" climate substitute. it is measured around the international and averaged out and it has extra desirable each and each twelve months. how are you able to not have self belief guy is having an result on earth while a brilliant number of aspects are so polluted already that human beings can not stay there?

    i dont think Global Warming concerns are "uncool" its just because scooters have always been seen as "uncool". i think its great that you are trying to do your part.

  • global warming is considered uncool because it's not cool. Global warming make the earth warm because the title said is "GLOBAL WARMING".
