Global Warming -- TIME
TIME Magazine will have on the front cover the issue of global warming again. Unfortunately, I doubt it will do much to educate people.
And they are uneducated. For example, 19% attributes increase in temperature to natural cause, and 49% attributes it to both. Wrong on both counts. The question asks whether the temperature increase is caused mostly by people, and they cannot get it into their heads that idea because they still see the world as a big place, isolated from each other. They imagine that if they don't fly airplanes, nobody else does.
The voters have little appetite for raising taxes on electricity and passing a tax on gas usage. But they love to give tax breaks to companies.
With this opinion, why is anybody even complaining about the amount of profits that oil companies are making? That's why I don't care about the amount of profits that the companies are making. I think it's good! There are people who fret about the exploitations that the companies are making. I see it as what the people precisely want.
These lawmakers in Congress should be applauded for fretting on the podium, but there is no need for them to do so.
As long as people struggle to make ends meet, (and incidentally, the majority probably cannot touch their toes), they will remain oblivious, apathetic, and opinionated without reason, knowledge, or understanding, to the affairs outside their bubble reality. Read More
