Humans are too Stupid



Bloggers are writing about respected climate scientist James Lovelock and his publication of a report in The Gaurdian saying that humans were too stupid to deal with the issues of global warming. He feels that humans are not yet eveloved enough to understand and prevent climate change. In his opinion, one obstruction to preventing climate change is democracy. Lovelock says, "Even the best democracies agree that when a major war approaches, democracy must be put on hold for the time being. I have a feeling that climate change may be an issue as severe as a war. It may be necessary to put democracy on hold for a while." But this is something that isn't likely to happen anytime soon. For something to humans to do something about climate change, Lovelock thinks that some major catashtrophe needs to occur and shock people into action. I agree with everything he has to say. At this point, there is lots of evidence pointing to the eventual destruction of our planet. Yet, no major changes have been made in people's lifestyles. At this rate, major damage will be made to the environment.
