Skeptics of climate change choose science as their reason for denying its existence. When questioned, they usually refer to historical records as an indicator that the planet is going through those periods and then bouncing back. While that has been the case a number of times, what they don’t understand is that those records are known because of the disciplines that collectively collect the information they dispute about.
Science about observations, experiments and taking things apart to understand them. If one does not have a recipe for something and is looking to find out how and what it is made from, the way in which it will generally involve experimenting with similar products.
The problem that people have with understanding science is that they do not understand its workings or liberation. For the most part, they may be poorly educated or simply cannot understand the basics of it.
During the last two to three millennia, great discoveries have been made that have led to a greater understanding of our planet and how nature works. In turn, the same has led to things like the development of electricity, the telephone, steam power, and ultimately the Internet, mobile phones, and things that are now taken for granted.
Each and every one of them arose thanks to science. Interspace exploration and satellites, airplanes, modern ships, agricultural practices, quality products, etc., are all the result of scientific knowledge and understanding.
Now we have climate change. Those who can understand the basics of science appreciate that carbon is responsible. It is in the atmosphere due to the fossil fuels that are used to support modern lifestyles and jobs. In other words, it is man-made madness that is killing us. It is also a fulfillment of the prophecy that “man will invent and invent for his own perdition.”
While we enjoy these advancements and can now have everything we need, including artificial intelligence (AI) to help us think, the more we stop thinking for ourselves, the deadlier the earth becomes. Now it is toxic to life and with each passing day it becomes more toxic.
Is there an answer to man’s dilemma? Can Scientists Save the Planet? The short answer is no. If multiple people in a room are given a bundle of fiddle sticks to each other and told to put them in a pile without moving others in that pile, what success might they be. That is what is happening today. Most want a clean planet, but they pollute and increase their toxicity by constantly moving other sticks in the pile. Therein lies the conflict.
