A Little Freaky...
I was playing around on the internet, looking through some eco-sites on my favourites list and came across a book recommended by David Suzuki (and Leonardo DiCaprio...) called "Climate Cover up: The Crusade to Deny Global Warming" by James Hoggan. Though my blog isn't about this book in particular, it lead me to Hoggan's blog "DeSmogBlog.com" where there was a link to American "public research". I found the site to be very bizarre and backwards. It makes me feel like it's been put together by the "red-necks" of climate change. People that live in a very different and scary world, can be described as "deniers". Some comments on articles were disturbing. I did not spend much time on the site as it made me confused and angry. People thought that instead of President Obama contributing to stopping climate change, he shoud send more troops to destroy Iraq. I think the environment is something that can unify on a global scale, and the fact that President Obama doesn't focus all of his energy and time as President of the United States of America to WAR in foreign countries is amazing on his part. I think the long term result is even fighting terrorism by saving the environment, because making use of renewable energy resources will reduce the dependency on oil (foreign!), causing less need to battle it out over the non-renewable resources. I would like to read further on this site, but it seems to bizarre to even try to wrap my head around their thoughts on the world. It definitely puts things into perspective...
