I mean, what if the skeptics and right-wingers are correct in that global warming is a myth and while the earth may be getting a few degrees warmer over the next couple of years, it is nothing to worry about? It’s just natural and things will turn around eventually?

Could it be that we have been duped into thinking that climate change is a real event as a means to scare the crap out of us?

Sure, I suppose it could be all a ruse to get us worried about yet another catastrophic event that might take us out…like terrorism. It could be a story made up by the gas companies to explain why gasoline prices have gone up $.23 cents here in Los Angeles in the last 10 days. It could be. It could be from a number of sources.

But you know what? I wouldn’t care. Because the truth that is behind the global warming movement is that we need to clean up our act. We need to stop polluting and filling our atmosphere with crappy gases. We need to start using the energy of the sun to power our ridiculously huge McMansions, our Olympic sized swimming pools, our 900 light bulbs we leave on all night, even when no one is using them.

We need to build electric cars that work and can be “refueled” in ten minutes. We need to stop digging holes in the earth to get more and more oil. We need to clean up our water supply, clean up our cities, and clean up the earth that we use to grow our food.

I wouldn’t care if global warming was a hoax. Because it is making people move, to think about it, to do something….people are starting to take an interest in the world around them. Starting to see that maybe it is not such a good thing to buy that giant house, spend thousands to heat and air condition it, and drive to work by yourself in a giant truck.

Let them keep scaring us with it if it is not real. People are getting it now, the earth is important; it is the only place we have to live and we have to take care of it. Breathing in noxious fumes from a power plant is not a good idea, so why don’t we clean it up?

I for one am not willing to take that chance, and even if it is a hoax….isn’t making the water we drink and the air we breathe cleaner a good idea anyway? Next time someone tells you that global warming is a myth, just tell them that.
