I just got done reading Alarm at new climate warning on BBC News. It ended with:
"It's very difficult to get politicians to collaborate, not only across the globe but also over sustained lengths of time," Bob Spicer from the Earth Sciences Department at the Open University, told BBC News.
"The people who can hold politicians to account are the public; and with this project we are bringing cutting-edge science to the stakeholders, the public."
That makes me wonder why policiticians must do everything? Politicians are not the ones doing the majority of the polluting. Politicians just pass needless laws for special interests. They're not the major polluters, though their friends might be.
It's people like you and me and the companies we work for that pollute. So why do we need to hold politicians accountable for what we do instead of holding ourselves and the people we know and work for accountable? If you work for a company that has a nice smoke stack, it's not to hard to ask what is being done to insure it's not bellowing out greenhouse gases. It's not to hard to plant a tree either, or pay five bucks to goto the zoo.
Then again it's also easy to chop down trees and keep on doing the same hold thing.
