Why global warming no longer matters

Despite whatever Brian Wynne says about how Global Warming is just a lie that Al Gore has created (such as the Internet) there comes a point that we must understand that global warming does not matter. Why you might ask? Because the scientific community has already accepted it. This poses a few problems to those who do not believe in global warming. If clean energy is the next boom in science, you might as well go with it. This is similar to saying that it is impossible to connect everyone to the Internet when everyone is hooking into it. The debate for global warming is over. Clean energy is now.

The final push towards renewable energy is of course, the oil crisis. We know that there is still oil. We also know that we can use coal. However, natural resources will always run out. Remember, that a seemingly limitless amount of energy gives us the ability to advance as a society. As such, renewable energy should still give us the ability to advance in the future. This is a problem that should have been fixed back at the last oil shock, and is now being fixed now.

Now in my personal opinion, I believe that limiting greenhouse gasses is merely a secondary effect. I believe that cheap energy is more important, and it would appear that all renewable energy sources are green.

Hence, we must note that those who say that Global Warming is just a hoax are doing more than just harming the environment, but they're holding back the next scientific boom.

Now when we look at the last big scientific boom (computers), our economy shot upwards. New jobs were created. We were able to land on the moon. A new industry opened around making computers games. Or even Microsoft Excel for that matter. Those against global warming are only caught up in what they think is untrue, rather than what the future may entail.

Industry has been shifting towards Green Energy. Not merely because of the global consequences, but also the economic growth that will follow afterwards.
