Global Warming

Lately there have been plenty of articles about global warming. Below are some prominent articles.

Climate report spurs call for change now
Ten years left to avert catastrophe
Warming report builds support for action

I applaud the efforts of scientist to allow the general public to gain a greater awareness about this grave issue. However there have not been any concrete efforts. The top polluters in the world shun the matter altogether. Thats very pathetic. Men are selfish. They will not forsake short term gains to combat global warming. Like most critics, despite hard evidence that men is responsible for the weird weather we are experiencing these days, nobody is going to give a damn. Reason? It is useless doing something that may or may not pay off in the future. It is economically insensible give up on today's growth and spend money to save future generations. What is more important? Earning your first million or play your part in conservation? I guess the answer is obvious.
