do you really think it is science? all i see is propaganda, do people seriously believe in al gore? you seriously think that he care about the earth? is it any coincidence that he now has a carbon credit company? oh i forgot, that is his job, so why not right? remember enron? of course not, our job is to only worry about saving the earth, let’s leave the rest to the “experts”. they really care and know what they are doing.

but please dont tell me to look at the ippc to back up the science. like any other united nations bodies, it has a political agenda. i personally think the ippc does not represent the majority of the scientist.

and when there are possibilities that these scientists are altering data to make the temperatures rising higher than it really is, don’t you wanna know the reason why? again, we have no time for that, if not, our kids won’t be able to see polar bears when they grow up, and couldn’t go to maldives for their honeymoon.

but well, we gotta hurry right, now that obama is tell us that h2o, co2, methane are toxins. i wonder if george soros and maurice strong are in Copenhagen.

oh and, don’t you need rare earth to pursue all these green technology, are there enough rare earth around the world?

and before people start jumping all over, i agree with 4) blowfishit, and i am also for a “greener” environment, i want cleaner air to breathe, but i still want to eat my meat and i still am not convinced co2 is the main cause of climate change where there are many other pollutants around. is it wrong that i’m questioning the motive and agenda of the people behind the scenes pushing all of these?

having said all that, i know i am just one small voice. if the majority are convinced it’s all about co2, then i’m sure you all will get your wishes. at the end of the day, don’t we all want to “save the earth”

When I do grocery shopping, I refuse to use plastic bag given by the supermarket. I actually bring my own bag to carry my grocery. We should really minimise our usage of plastic bags.

And don’t buy things just because they are organic or green. Learn to read labels because there are cheap substitutes in otherwise ‘green’ products. An organic product could be more harmful on the environment than a conventionally grown product because of the carbon emission required to fly said item over. Buy local, buy from the farms directly.

It’s great if you can switch off your aircon, but people should remember that there are little things that you could change without interrupting your lifestyle like changing your lightbulbs once they RIP to energy-saving ones. If you want to save the natural habitat (and here, I must pause to say that I have no idea whether the used water from our taps that flow into the drains are filtered and where they are released into; presumably the sea?), use detergent and soaps and shampoos that are not harsh and harmful. Wealth of information out there, balance carbon emission versus benefit to self.

Some of the above are not exactly carbon emission related, but I thought I would rant and throw it out there. Frustrated when people say “it’s going to be expensive to be green” or “only the rich can eat organic and buy natural” when NO, I saved loads in little steps myself. Be sensible about it, and don’t buy a new reusable bag at the supermarket when you can make one out of a torn T-shirt.

Not buying the Shitty Times also protects the habitat of endangered species like the Orang Utan and Sumatran Rhinoceros.

are we willing to scale back on our aircon usage for instance, or worse still, be willing to be taxed by our govt as part of a concerted global effort to fight climate change?

kudos to these youths and the aspirations they hold, yet we shld firstly examine ourselves and ask if we’re even doing our part to save the world, before criticising others abt their lack of effort.
