The Huffington Post is another new discovery of mine that has been a needed source of intellectual stimulation while I have been off sick. The above article caught my eye today as I was flicking through my email alerts.
Climate change is a subject that I have struggled with over the last few years. While I accept that the climate of our planets is changing (we have felt the effects here to a certain extent) I have conflicting thoughts about the extent of our involvement as a species. For me, I just don't think we have enough evidence to deny the possibility that what is happening could be a natural occurrence. This would of course, be linked to the apparent shrinking of the species discussed in the article.
Of course, that isn't to say that we aren't responsible for this planet. As the dominant species we have a duty to make sure we care for ourselves and the world around us. The green alternatives are there we just need to make sure that they are being used. And we can't always blame the big companies. Let's face it, if we the consumer didn't buy, the companies would not make. Car companies make the gas guzzling cars because the petrol heads out there don't want a small-engined hybrid that can't do 100+ miles down the motorway!
