I just saw Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth, and I think it is very important to watch. I do believe that we have some environmental issues that we need to deal with, and I believe that we should be concerned with the buildup of CO2 in our atmosphere.
While I grant that some of Gore’s claims may be exaggerated, I’m quite sure that to not address global warming is to gamble with our future. There’s enough evidence that major catastrophes could result from our current level of fossil fuel consumption that these are no longer gambles I want to make.
What can we do? We can turn off our computers at night. We can take public transportation. We can buy more efficient vehicles when we get our next vehicle. We can change our light bulbs. Even if you think Al Gore is a quack, there are economic benefits to these changes as well. By the time the new light bulbs burn out, they can save up to $30 of electricity and hey, 30 bucks is 30 bucks.
