One of the major debates nowadays are climate change and global warming and if man is responsible for these changes. Well I am sure of one thing without any scientific studies and just by simple observation, if you have a one hundred by fifty foot room with a high power air conditioning unit going at high speed, this room will be very cold, if you go in there by yourself you will soon feel very cold, but then 10 more people come in and the cold eases down a little, if the room gets full or even crowded the air conditioning will not be enough to keep the room cold.
So by this I infer that humans give off heat, by the same reasoning animals give off heat probably trees and plants give off heat, now humans also have other ways of heating up their surroundings, cars, airplanes, electricity,, home appliances, industrial parks, mechanics, all other sorts of trades like carpenters, painters etc they all add more heat to their surroundings.
Now this is a given, you can prove this by going from a city for a fifty mile drive and you find that the city is hotter than the countryside, so yes, man is at least in part responsible for global warming, and I haven't even included some other factors that are even more heat producing like wars, rocket launches, solar panels, oil spills, I guess firecrackers at any event and I mean those huge pyrotechnical displays we see so much of these days and are totally unnecessary and a number of other players that also add to this heat.
So I am sure that humans do have a substantial impact that affects global warming, to say it doesn't I believe, is naive. Now climate change is something that is much more difficult to ascribe to humans, but again I think humans also help here, all our pollution has to have an impact on this, and really I am just scratching the surface of this problem. And this isn't a liberal and conservative fighting debate it is a reality that is very dangerous, I can assure you that here in Honduras we have much hotter weather than we had in the 70s and 80s, caused I am sure by population growth, an exponential increase in the number of cars circulating in the country, more factories which are not too environmentally friendly and of course individual human negligence.
I do not see why this would be an issue for people, just try to leave a smaller footprint it doesn't cost much in fact it is cheaper than what you are now doing, for example, if you are going to a place a mile from your home walk it or use a bike or at the most a low consumption motor bike, this is better for the environment and cheaper for your pocket, and there are many other things you can do or stop doing that will help make the world a better place, like if you have to use plastic bags find a way to eliminate them that doesn't hurt anyone, around here they are used as trash bags and are disposed of at the landfill.
Even if it turns out humans have zero effect on warming or change, doing these things are actually logical things to do to have a better town or city, just by not always using your car you are contributing to better air quality. And remember this isn't even for you it is for those who come after us, we have to leave them a planet at least as good as we had when we were children, hopefully better.
