In the movie “It’s All Cool” has some disturbing information on climate change and government censorship. There was however, something that I found even more troublesome as I watched the video. Both sides are vehemently opposed to what the other believes, in this case, climate change. Everyone cannot be telling the truth, which leads me to believe that someone is lying. It doesn’t matter who (even though I have an idea), but one of the sides in this argument is knowingly lying.
It’s troubling to think that this is happening. Why would those who don’t believe in climate change lie about it when they know we are on a dangerous path to a warmer earth? And why would environmentalists lie about global warming (yes, why would they do that?)? Are they just trying to create panic I order to further their radical agenda?
We need to take a look at what each side’s argument does. The anti-environmentalist argument causes people to feel safe, to go about business as usual, to help our economy. The environmentalists want us to re-evaluate how we use harmful products, our industry, and our waste methods. I don’t think that anti-environmentalists want our planet to be irreversibly damaged and for humans to die a slow and painful death, and I don’t think environmentalists want to create unnecessary panic. Then why do we have such polarized views on the matter? You would think that we might be able to get a straight scientific answer to let us know what is really going on. I know what I believe, but can’t help but have some little bit of doubt in my mind because the other side is so vehemently opposed. These seed of doubt are what arrest our progress and hurt the human race as a whole.
It’s troubling to think about because in this modern day humans can’t get on the same page in order to do something at important as figuring out what is best for our home planet. These organizations need to put their agendas, egos, and the thought of money aside in order for anything to ever get done. If we can’t do that then we don’t deserve earth.

4/5 It is troubling and even more so now, as I grade in December and watch the current 'climategate' all but hijack the Copenhagen meetings!
