Catchup blog...blog #1 !

Yes, I have been away for quite some time but as you can tell I am back...and already way into this brief! In this blog and those to follow shortly, I will attempt to make up for the fact that there are no blogs before now...

Global warming.
By definition global warming is the steady increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere. This, along time, will cause dramatic climatic change! Though most people just know it as the change of the atmosphere and climate (mainly temperature), brought about by artificial means, ie; by man, primarily as a result of pollution. Nowadays it seems as though anything we do 'hurts' the environment (and in turn damaging our own chances of life in the future). Consumer or supplier, be it by driving to work, industry production (to allow modern human way of life) or even just by having a shower that is longer than 3 minutes, we are doing irreversible damage.
All our pollution has damaged the ozone layer, therefore allowing more harmful uv rays to enter our atmosphere which corrupts our climate, drastically changing the weather patterns. This is the main reason why we are so short on water, climate change, not enough rainfall and why?Global warming.
Not only the climate change but our wastage of natural resources has really had an adverse effect on our and the world's environment as a whole. Wastage of water, wastage of product and overuse of fossil fuels (which themselves lead to global warming) have lowered humanity's chances of a comfortable life in future generations.
So, just recently, upon this realisation, we are being urged to conserve, reuse, and recycle. Upon finally accepting global warming as fact, the government and authority bodies are making the public more aware of global warming and its influence on our futures. Those who realise just what global warming can do are in a panic. Now the attempt to turn around, or even erase the damage, is on. Companies are being urged to reduce their wastage, use of resources and to recycle as much as possible. Families are being forced to conserve in everyday life, and even so, the enviromment is still on the decline. So why has it taken so long for the world to realise, to know and to accept that the very existance of life is at risk?
As my group and I have discussed, the answer is plain and simple; choice.
Everything in everyone's lives relies on the choices that are made. In the past it has just been chosen to deny the fact of global warming, just chosing not to believe it, until now. Now when the evidence that global warming is true and is currently occurring, is too great to deny any further.
But why deny it to begin with?
Again, choice, life choice, the choices from goverments, the choices from industries, the choices of the individual and even the choices of religion.
