My Personal Opinions and Main Concerns

Global Warming statistics and facts are a long time study and data won't be out that is conclusive until around 2020 by most estimates. These are why I feel that climate change needs to happen. 1. the monopoly and grip on society that one form of energy, crude oil, that can't last forever has on all of us in the developed and developing world. 2. species are dying out at a rate that hasn't been seen since the dinosaurs, this hasn't been seen before in human history. 3. The world as a whole has been affected by our industry to such a degree that at the current rate our degradation of the earth won't lead to greater business and capitalism, as some people believe that by chaning things we are harming progress, it will break down our society. The gap between rich and poor and the differences in the societies will continue to stretch. By chanigng to renewable energy sources, then eventually hydrogen, it won't be like currently where there are one or two major generating spaces feeding everywhere, every house will be generating its own power, and maybe earning money through selling it back to the grid. Eventually every one on Earth will be producing their own energy. Allowing for the gap between rich and poor to be shortened rather than lengthened as the current trend is. If you like the idea of this 3rd point or want to learn more read the book The Hydrogen Economy, By: Jeremy Rifkin.
