If you haven't heard about the issue by now, here it is: the Earth is cooling rather than warming. Global Warming is, if not a hoax, close enough so you can't tell the difference. And, of course, now that the truth (if this is, indeed, the truth) is out, everyone is trying to cover it up again. And everyone involved is embarassed.
Why?
Really, what was the result of this? Has anything, environmentally-wise anyway, happened that was truely bad? Energy-saving appilances are now the norm in home-improvement and department stores. Alternative and renewable fuels and vechiles are on the up and coming. People are into reuseable grocery bags. If anything, most normal people have SAVED money.
Now I'm not going to talk about those people responsible for this - they have undoubtedly lost money - probably millions of dollars, not to mention their reputations and their careers. I don't know who they are exactly, nor do I care what their political affliations are. Here is my message to them:
I BLAME you and I'm HURT that you lied, but I not ANGRY with you. But you should man up (or woman up, as the case may be) and take responsiblity for this. It was your fault. You lied to us. Now, I'm afraid, you have to face the music. You should have done it ages ago. Back when something could have been salvaged from all this. But keep in mind, nothing bad actually happened. A lot of good things happened actually.
I doubt this will be seen by anyone but a few people who read my blog. I'm not out to change the world or tell the politicans what to do. I can't take the world by the ears and give them the good shaking they so richly deserved right now. But to the few people who read this blog will know that SOMEONE is going to be mature about this, even if that person has no global clout.
