Can much sex be behind global climate change? At least that is what very many persons including some scientists are saying.
One could argue that has been going on ever since Eve ate
the apple of the forbidden tree but then in those days antibiotics and vaccines
were not around. The current action combined with reduced mortality rates have led
to the planet's population rising to around seven Billion. Collect a bunch of
persons in a room and see how it warms up! Each body generates heat
continuously. Could that be happening on a planet wide scale? However that is
not what the scientists are saying. Instead what happens is that as humans
develop they begin using things like cars and electricity. All those require
burning fossil fuels and that adds direct heat to the planet as well as carbon
emissions that are greenhouse gases. As long as it was only a few hundred
million Americans and Europeans doing that it was OK, but now we have a few billion Indians and
Chinese beginning to develop and do the same. On top of it more humans need more food and unless humans begin to start growing food producing trees they shall just cut down the forests for agriculture and destroy the last remaining hope for preventing climate change. What is going to happen to our
planet? Should the developed nations try to prevent this development?
When I tweeted a link to this post to a friend - Aaron Heslehurst of the BBC World News, he tweeted back,
" Lord save the planet, because humans are not going to give that up"
Well as it turns out, humans need not worry as long as they
pin-point the true cause of climate change accurately and do something about
it. This blogger shall describe that in new post soon. This
one was in a lighter vein. Happily the cause of climate change might not
be sex; you may proceed to do that if you wish and think it is appropriate as long there is doubt about the cause :-)
