kusheng asked in EnvironmentGlobal Warming · 1 decade ago

Was 2007 the year when Global Warming took center stage?

In the future, will we look at 2007 as the pivotal year where people's minds changed about Global Warming?

    It certainly was,

    There is a philosophical utterance that states ,that if enough people think about something ,it will become realized.

    Creation by thought.

    I am a believer of Global warming based on actual happenings, not the media.

    So i will make a New years resolution,not to talk about it ,until we hear From Global warming again,

    The endless banter in Answers was becoming tedious.

    So Global Warming has to make the first move,

    not the people in Answers.

    I think it more likely people will look back at this decade in such a way. It certainly has taken a large part of the stage this year, but certainly will be center stage over the entire decade

    Denis G. Rancourt professor of physics and an environmental science researcher at the University of Ottawa, believes the global warming campaign does a disservice to the environmental movement.

    Indeed, 2007 has turned into the "tipping point" for the unsubstantiated fears and gross distortion of science by activists who have committed decades trying to convince the world it faced a man-made climate crisis. Rancourt so eloquently summed up the movement as one featuring "Unverified, remote, and abstract dangers."

    Rancourt wrote on February 27, 2007: "Promoting the global warming myth trains people to accept unverified, remote, and abstract dangers in the place of true problems that they can discover for themselves by becoming directly engaged in their workplace and by doing their own research and observations. It trains people to think lifestyle choices (in relation to CO2 emission) rather than to think activism in the sense of exerting an influence to change societal structures."
