Global warming
What are the facts involved?
How are we to know what to believe and what not to believe with
conflicting claims and counter claims from authorities?
How can ordinary people and the masses decipher what to do and
what not to do in the absence of clarity on this when there is no consensus
among the scientific community itself?
In political and economic issues when can easily perceive the media
lies if we want to but here since global
warming involves a scientific
pronouncement of a phenomenon of a macro
scale so huge that most of it cannot be explained through laboratory
experiments and herein lies the problem.
All these problems are further complicated by throwing into a
single cauldron
Science - especially with its weak aspects which are not fully proven with concrete evidences;
Science - especially with its weak aspects which are not fully proven with concrete evidences;
International
economics - especially one whose volatility is unpredictable on any concrete
parameters;
Politics
-especially with sides opposing one another purely based on predetermined
ideologies;
Socio-ethical
values- especially with all its vulnerable components of mass opinions
and so many other factors all of which can contribute more to the vagueness and
conflicting claims.
Worse still, all these are continuously being churned with
hidden agendas, ulterior motives, simmering discontent, lurking suspicions and
so on and so forth.
While the churning goes on and on, the cauldron is covered with
a lid of confusing, contradictory but diplomatically correct jargons which are
carefully coined and policies decisions scrupulous crafted to sound acceptable
all.
So, how can we ever expect to move forward without correct data,
concrete evidence or facts?
Whatever emerges out is a bundle of compromises agreeable to
many of the men and nations that matter most -euphemism for nations that
dominate the discourse- and the businesses that stand to gain and also
incidentally generate more revenue and jobs for many-which in a way indirectly
shuts any further sincere scientific scrutiny.
