As I was taking the long drive home today from my internship in Hollywood, I sat in the horrific L.A traffic starring at break lights and the brown layer of smog that surrounded me and clouded my vision of the downtown high-rises. Every time I take this drive, my concern for our air quality grows, and my guilt for driving such a distance increases. Tired of listening to music, I actually decided to tune into some talk radio and catch up on my news. I couldn’t have done it at a more perfect time.
I was listening to an interview with a man named Steve Milloy who, with his website JunkScience.com, challenges the very concept of global warming. In fact, he is so confident that we, humans, have no control over climate change and are not at all causing catastrophic global warming, that he is offering $125,000 to anyone who can prove him otherwise.
Over the last year, I have tried to read-up on and stay informed about the constant changing conditions of our environment and the good and bad human behaviors that can affect it. This website and its article titled “The Real Inconvenient Truth” has put so much of what I have learned, and thought I understood, into question. I still believe that we, humans, can protect our environment through various behaviors and possibly take climate control into our hands. However, though I believe it to be possible, now, I don’t know that it is.
What do you think?
