Waterfront Painting
How many of you believe in "man produced" global warming?
I know this isn't the science section. I was just curious because I am going to Chicago tomorrow to work on a public arts project about it. I'm painting a big globe that will be installed along the waterfront.
I'm not sure. We dont understand everything about how the planet works, and to assume we do is silly.
I think we should be treating the planet better no matter what, but I dont necessarily believe that global warming is man made, or that it even really exists to begin with.
In the '70s there was a consensus in the scientific community about something called "global cooling". Today its global warming. I dont see much of a difference. Yknow, people use the hurricanes and such to prove that the climate is changing, but these things go in cycles. In the 1950s we went through a very similar period of intense, enormous hurricanes as well.
Basically no-one has furnished any convincing proof of global warming to me. Al Gore's cute little propaganda film didnt impress me or change my mind and while we're on the subject, I thought it was pathetic at the Oscars when everyone was tripping over themselves to kiss his ass. Ralph Nader has been fighting for the environment for god-only-knows how long, but Gore comes along with one little propaganda film, and suddenly hes the damn Messiah. Its pitiful.
People love a good something to freak out over. Y2K, the killer bees invading from mexico, bird flu thats gonna kill half the world, the tylenol scare, etc etc. Be careful of those kinds of things. Global warming could just be another one of them.
Keep an open mind basically is what I'm trying to say, and dont let the majority decide what you think.
Truth is not measured in mass appeal.
