"Global warming" ?


Global warming. Is it real? Maybe. Is it caused by human activity- I don’t think so.
The theory about global warming is becoming so popular that it is literally everywhere- newspaper and internet articles, magazines, tv programs, movies etc. It’s hard not to think about it when you hear of it all the time. But is this whole story just a big hoax?
We have to ask ourselves who would gain from the global warming. I would love to know the answer to this question. Maybe it is the scientists who are at the bottom of this. After all they get huge financial support for the research in that area. Also they are the ones sitting behind the theory.  Or maybe it’s the governments collecting millions in taxes and donations for fighting this “problem”. Maybe it is a way to hold up the developing countries. Maybe it is all of these things.

Al Gore used global warming to gain popularity- he was running for president after all. However his documentary “Inconvenient Truth” has some interesting facts that I’ve met in other places. One of them is that in the history of the earth there have been warm periods with high levels of CO2 emissions long before humans came to be. So how come this time we are suddenly the ones causing it? Or how can we stop global warming if it is something periodical on earth and we are not causing it. Going against nature is like peeing in the wind – things are going to get dirty.
