Global Warming.

the subject of global warming is a hot button for many conservative/liberal debates; we all love to get behind something and if the people we call experts tell us something, we latch on to it. we have to think a little more literally about the subject before we segregate one another on a subject we can all agree on...fossil fuel exhaust is poisonous.

the foundation of the idea is:

if you put a hose from the exhaust pipe of your car to the interior of the car, you sit in the car and run the engine; you will die.

we can all agree on this, no more proof needed. fossil fuel exhaust is poison. how that applies to global warming is important; global warming or not...fossil fuel exhaust is poison. there have been many studies that are for and against the idea of global warming. al gore did a fascinating story that gripped our society and was catalyst enough to earn him a nobel prize. the catalyst is not something that should be ignored; the impact of presenting fossil fuel's poisonous properties was and is extremely important.

getting this through to the masses is hard. how do we all pull together and literally agree that we don't want to poison our planet. the drama caused by bringing such catastrophic theories to the masses drives the educated minority crazy. conservatives seem to see the extremely fear driven advertising of global warming as a way to achieve a liberal political agenda or hurt large companies; this is simply not the case.

we live in a society that is guided and inspired by dramatic events, events that pull at our emotional strings. we react dramatically to those events ranging from a conservative talk show host's bashing of the french to liberals marching on washington. we all seem to want to be apart of something even in our freedom of individuality. the only restrictions are to follow the laws, pay your taxes and co-exist compassionately with our fellow man. the unfortunate method of delivering theories as doomsday scenarios needs to be employed to get people who are not as educated to respond. we have different education levels as a part of our demographic differences whether observed or not. generally a garbage collector isn't as in tune with worlds events as a business executive. they are also less likely to vote.

the impact of the minority influencing the majority is a clear opportunity for corruption but that is a subject for another blog.

the point is global warming or not, we can all agree that fossil fuel exhaust is a poison and that should be enough of a reason to try and scale it back. the result of global warming can be argued until we are blue in the face from the poisons we are inhaling being produced daily with our cars. if you put a hose from the exhaust from your car and breathe the exhaust you die...period. it is a common form of suicide; we know this.

please, please, care about youself, your family, your friends and your fellow earthbound inhabitants enough to eliminate the poisons that you produce.

and remember, if you breathe the exhaust from your car you will die...we can all agree on that.
