Googling on Climate Change
To understand how far the conversation about "Global Warming" and
"Climate Change" has moved into the general population's consciousness,
I conducted a Google search using those two terms. In order of
appearance, "Global Warming" came in with 36,700,000 entries, and
"Climate Change" counted 94,200,000 items. And both of these searches
took under one second to complete.
Although I haven’t read each and every entry, I'm sure my searches included a multitude of duplicates and triplicates as well as items tagged to websites that are not fit to include in print here. So, in order to
narrow the search a little bit more, I ran additional searches for
“Climate Change” by adding the terms "+ junk science," "+ debunked," and
"+ debate." This had an obvious impact, turning up 155,000, 206,000, and
6,200,000 items respectively.
Let's talk |
Of course, many of the items that turned up in the second search most
likely have the same issues as mentioned above, like duplicates and
non-relevant hits. Yet the intriguing aspect about these search results
is that there is, in fact, a great debate going on about what is
happening to our world's environment from all sides of the table. There
are people with differing opinions who steadfastly argue over whether
climate change is solely a manmade phenomenon or not. Of course, it may
very well take decades to fully understand what exactly causes our world
to change.
The real hope here is that the debate continues not only at the
conference tables in the halls of science and government, but at
kitchen, dining room, and restaurant tables as well. Because, the way I
see it, if there really is to be a true change in the way we do things,
it doesn't matter what we hear from the experts, it’s what we do with
what we've learned so far on our own.
