On the one end, we have people like Lewis Pugh swimming in the north pole, trying to gather the attention of world leaders to the momentum global warming is gathering. On the other hand, we have the people who can actually amass momentum towards the direction of reducing our emissions and in turn reduce the impact of (the hypothesized) global warming. But they are in very firm denial. Me, honestly, every cell in my body thinks GW is real. But I have no proof. I've seen people splitting their hairs arguing both sides of it. But there is a reality - and what it is, we will know in ten years from now. What if it is too late then? Seriously, either the deniers are sincerely convinced that the GW threat is a fad, or that is their pitch to maintain status quo. The latter would be such a crying shame!
The video below shows Lewis Pugh's talk at TED and a snippet of his north pole swim project. The footage that showed the polar bear and its cub brought tears to my eyes. This is such an amazing creation - and if we lose this from here, I will never be able to forgive myself. We have no capability to create an iota of this magnificence, so how come we are so irresponsible with the destruction!
