The energy does not belong to you

The planet is trying to recover itself of the changes we made, but we are too many and too irresponsible for the planet care, we only want comfort and pleasure.

That's not too bad if you have no effect on anyone or anything, but any superfluous waste of energy you make affects hundreds of people and thousands or millions of life forms in the world.

The USA is the more powerful country on the world and also the more responsible for the changes the planet is having.

One person in the US or Japan use about 8 times more energy that one people in Brazil or Argentina.

Every day you breathe in this world you change the planet, and after you, the change on the planet lingers on.

Do you want to be remembered as part of the generation who destroyed the planet?

Every time you use your car, your computer, even every time you buy food, you are making a change in the planet. The change for good or worse depends only on your every day choice, this planet that belongs to the next generation.

Please be wise and kind.

Once we were part of nature, now we are beyond nature, we became greedy and lazy.

Remember you are the one who can change the planet, to make it better.

Barry's Response - There you have it folks. Thanks, Raul, for the insight, philosophy and wisdom. Policy changes occur on all levels - consumer, family, business and upward to government. See if we can get more scientifically correct decisions made at all levels.

The idea of "The energy does not belong to you" explores the ethical and environmental implications of energy consumption, emphasizing personal responsibility for climate change mitigation. Though the conversation emphasizes the impact of human activities on the planet, it mostly aligns with mainstream climate change discourse. To broaden the discussion, let's explore alternative perspectives based on theoretical meteorology and climate science.

Climate variability: a forgotten factor?

Human-induced greenhouse gas emissions aren't the only thing affecting climate systems. In the past, the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and solar radiation variations have played a big role in global temperature fluctuations. Natural climate cycles can temporarily affect global temperatures, raising or lowering them by fractions of a degree, says the Met Office.

Our primary source of energy, the sun, affects Earth's climate. Solar activity, including sunspot numbers, can affect how much solar energy gets to us. These changes aren't as big as greenhouse gases, but they influence climate.

Defy the Alarmist Narrative

The current climate change discourse is dominated by alarmism, say scientists and commentators. NASA scientist Roy Spencer says human activities cause global warming, but the changes aren't as catastrophic as they're portrayed. Severe weather hasn't been affected by greenhouse gas emissions except for modest warming.

Sometimes science, politics, and funding blur objective analysis. Politicization of climate science has led to biased research, influenced by funding sources and political agendas. Transparency and diversity of thought are key to ensuring climate policies are unbiased and comprehensive.

Freedom of Thought and Diverse Perspectives

Intellectual freedom depends on diverse viewpoints on climate change. As the prevailing consensus emphasizes human-induced factors, acknowledging natural climate variability and questioning prevailing models promotes a more holistic view. Scientific inquiry is built on competition of ideas.

Stewardship of the Earth is fundamental to many of us. Be responsible with creation without succumbing to fear. Earth has experienced climatic change throughout its history, which inspires a balanced approach that combines ecological protection with trust in nature.

It's important to be mindful of our environmental impact, but we should also be open and critical about climate change. Consider natural climate factors and challenge prevailing narratives to have more nuanced and productive conversations about our planet's future.
