Where Is Godzilla In The Global Warming Debate?

Global warming is a direct result of globalization; the more we industrialize the world the less inhabitable it will be. I am not a Greenpeace fanatic but I appreciate the world we live in. I see the world changing and I believe I understand why it occurs, ‘Greed’. Plain and simple Greed. We, as well as many other countries in the world, want to be the main marketer, producer, and seller, of the most fabricated junk we can.

We work at rapid paces trying to outdo each other, we work so blinded that we forget we are scorching the very earth that sustains us. How many trees can we cut down before there are not enough to replenish the oxygen? How much waste can a waterway sustain before the water is irrevocably tainted and destroyed?

Godzilla was an ideal before her time, she was the ideal that mankind will someday pay for their treatment of the world, Godzilla was the Jack Bauer of Mother Nature, she was the symbol of destruction that mankind created for themselves. An ironic hero created to warn mankind of the path many felt long ago we were treacherously headed down. Regardless of what you may be told, as we battle through the war of globalization it is clear we are destroying our world as well as cooking it from the inside out. You can deny it if you like but Global Warming is a fact and deep down inside we all know the cause.

Al Gore has a Global Warming documentary titled ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ that will soon be publicly released in America but most believe that President Bush is not likely to see Al Gore’s documentary. When asked if he will be seeing the movie President Bush responded by stating, “Doubt it.”

Al Gore responded by stating, “But Bush should watch it…The entire global scientific community has a consensus on the question that human beings are responsible for global warming, and he has today again expressed personal doubt that that is true…Why should we set aside the global scientific consensus…Is it because Exxon Mobil wants us to set it aside? Why should we set aside the conclusion of scientists in the United States, including the National Academy of Sciences, and around the world including the 11 most important national academies of science on the globe and substitute for their view the view of Exxon Mobil? Why?”

Previously President Bush has acknowledged that the increase in temperatures over the past 100 years is a result of an increase in greenhouse gases due to a certain extent on human activity. However, the President is very standoffish when pinned in a corner regarding the subject of industrialization of the world and the associated rise in global temperatures.

Maybe Godzilla could talk some sense into the worlds’ leaders.
