You have heard it all before, the warnings about global warming, reducing your carbon footprint and taking care of our earth. You’ve probably taken measures to go green; many people have but there are more who haven’t. It’s a start though, every little bit helps, we say to ourselves.
AnInconvenientGuiltTrip.com provides an alternate point of view regarding the changes going on in our planet. The blogs owner states:
The purpose of this site is to create a sounding board and collection of ideas and information that the national media is not providing. So that we can have a place to send the people we meet to get a dose of reality (gee if it is in print it must be true) when they are trying to explain how we need to reduce our carbon footprint. (Just annoying us to the point of tears.) I want to be able to collect and report on the other 90% of us that don’t buy in to the entire “Inconvenient Truth Global Warming is Man’s Fault Guilt Trip”
My grandfather used to say that there is nothing going on in this earth that hasn’t happened already, so maybe the site has a point. This global warming, temperature and climate shifts, it’s happened before already. It’s nothing new. Maybe it’s the earth’s way of renewing itself. Sort of like when you get a spa treatment and slather yourself in muck just so you can have refreshed skin after you wash it off.
Maybe the point of greener living is not necessarily to save the world from global warming but rather just living responsibly. Sort of why we have designated bathrooms. I think what the site is trying to say is, don’t buy into the hype and think for yourself. The world will not blow up when the hole in the sky opens up.
