Given universal awareness and belief that greenhouse gases are placing our world on the brink of imminent disaster, we should obligate ourselves to examine the origins of the climate change issue. For many people awareness and concern has emerged as if by stealth. Our children arrive home from school all wide-eyed and anxious about the imminent extinction of polar bears, melting polar ice caps and glaciers. Frequently, too, we see programs on television which portray what seems to be a world hell-bent on its own destruction and predicting an imminent environmental Armageddon.
Former politician Al Gore produced a much viewed movie predicting certain demise of most living things unless greenhouse gases were dramatically limited starting immediately. He was given an Academy Award for his “Inconvenient Truth.” It is clearly apparent that the vehicles of mass communication, especially the popular media, entertainment industry, the public school systems as well as society’s opinion leaders, have been working overtime to inform and alarm us to the calamities ahead if we fail to throttle back the creation of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
