When Warm - ups aren't any good

There are trillions of factors that have been affecting our Planet Earth's climate. One cannot undermine the external factors (the factors that are not biological, naturally occurring) and their impact on our climate. There's a whole load of human activity that is increasing the level of greenhouse gases, these emissions have continued for years and years together and for as long as they do continue, so will warming of Earth.

The intensity and speed with which technology is advancing these days is scary, if not shocking. If only these advances were applied to more useful purposes, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, reducing dependency on fossils and natural reserves. We could all just be Earth's greatest protectors like Spock or Kirk.

Coming down to reality. Recently, Tim Yeo, Chairman of Commons Energy and Climate Change Committee cited his belief that humans may not be the ones to blame for Global Warming, and that it's down to natural forces. Really?

Let's bring in the theory of Catalysis here. It's scientific, biological, psychological and chemical to believe that everything on this planet is a result of some occurrence. Nothing was magically created out of nothing. This is to say that, everything was caused and catalyzed by events. So, to say that humans are not responsible for Global Warming or Climatic change is either a reflection of:

a) The realization that nothing can be done after the damage has been done.
or
b) To bring in a sense of relief among masses and then suddenly go, 'Hey, an asteroid is headed towards our planet. What a surprise!'

The latest news around has also been that the density of coral cover has significantly declined since 1998. Now with the intense climatic changes, what once occupied 25% of marine biodiversity will dwindle catastrophically. Does that sound good? Not if you know that the entire range of organisms living under waters depend on the coral reef for their survival. 

Well, there is no possible end to this line of thought. O.o
