In this light, it is not surprising that discussions about potential solutions to fight global warming concentrate on technical measures instead of a fundamental change of our attitude to life in general and to Nature in particular. Many people between 20 and 65 years seem to live for the one and only purpose of earning as much money as possible in order to be able to buy as many things as possible. The ultimate global warming solutions is to behave as part of a larger whole We live here to train those traits, which will finally lead to perpetual harmony with ourselves and with our environment as well as to inner calm and peace. We got blind for the true reason of our incarnation on earth: There is a loss of value behind this attitudes. In doing so we mix up economic growth with general well-being and financial income with personal happiness, respectively. What has no price tag, seems to have no value to us any more. In addition, our unit of measure is more and more often money only. The lesson from global warming is to base all decisions on deep respect and consideration for Nature.
It’s like having a wild party where we destroy beds, the kitchen as well as the living room of a hotel without ever thinking about our future staying in the hotel nor about other guests arriving later. As a matter of fact, some people still believe that technical solutions alone would be sufficient to fight global warming.Īlthough we are guests on Earth, we behave as if no further visitors would arrive after us. This haughtiness is the true main cause of global warming. We believe to be able to control Nature instead of trying to arrange ourselves with Nature. In our technology and scientific minded world, we seem to have forgotten that mankind is only a relatively minor part of Nature. The answer to all these questions is a rather simple one: Why do most people refuse to change their personal behavior voluntary in order to reduce CO2 emissions caused by their activities?.Why can one still today find people who stick their head in the sand and don’t want to understand what’s going on in the earth’s atmosphere? The true cause of global warming is our thoughtless attitude to Nature. Why were ever more scientific evidence demanded to find the coherence of man-made CO2 emissions as cause of global warming? Why wasn’t common sense reason enough to act?.Why have warnings about climate change been ignored for more than 20 years?.The main cause of global warming is our treatment of Nature Alone the shrinking supply will not make it possible to continue as usual for a longer time.
The energy demand is simply too high.Īnother issue is the non-renewable characteristic of fossil fuels: It took nature millions of years to generate these resources, however we will have used them up within the next decades. It will be impossible to find alternative sources, which could replace fossil fuels in the short or medium term.
More than 80% of the world-wide energy demand is currently supplied by the fossil fuels coal, oil or gas. The drastic increase in the emission of CO2 (carbon dioxide) within the last 30 years caused by burning fossil fuels has been identified as the major reason for the change of temperature in the atmosphere (click the following link for a summary and graphs about the cause and effects of global warming ). It took more than 20 years to broadly accept that mankind is causing global warming with the emission of greenhouse gases.
