In many area of the world, either in a small portion of a country, a portion of a continent, faces the impact of global warming. Despite of many NGO’s or some world leaders calling the other leaders to manage the factors which are contributing to global warming, yet many are still dimmed in saving the world from global temperature rising.
Impact when the world has increased by 6 degrees
(Source: National Geographic)
The global climate change is very much related to economic of nature and not political economic of nature. For that reason, many country leaders or politician deems to be talking with no real spirit in saving nature. It is strange when one day they might talk on saving the world from going to a higher degrees but on the other hand contributing to global warming in the nature of their development decisions or by ignorance. Today he or she provides speech on saving the world and the next day he or she shall officiate the next industrial area where clearing the remaining jungles or filling up lakes and rivers. There are times they will destroy or shift the natural rivers to a man-made rivers and lakes. They will shift the original clean water fall into an electrical small waterfall for a housing industry. These are all unethical deed not only by the optician but also the greed business man who are capitalist in nature, the profit and free market believer.
Most people do not understand the impact of climate change. They have no knowledge on what happen when the world rise with 3 degrees, 4 degrees and with 6 degrees.
Climate change has 3 main concerned:
a. Climate change contributed other important concerned such as 1 billion people living to unacceptable poverty due to unexpected drought, drying lakes and rivers or even desertification.
b. A fixation on global CO2 levels which contributed too many negative impact in the ecosystem.
c. A horror state of inducing meltdown of icecaps or glaciers which result in increased sea levels, global climate change, desalination of sea water which would contribute to haywire of the earth climate.
According to Stephen Gardiner, it is a ‘perfect moral storm’ to moralize the human mind and our political institution to reinstate in their mind the importance of caring the global climate from becoming to an increase global warming which contributed to major disaster to human kind (Stephen Gardiner, 2011)
Laws have to be amended and enforce to make them feel guilty or guilty as state, having an offence for destroying the earth climate. It is our duty of all to persuade 7 billion world populations to adapt the new morality of carbon rationing i.e. preventing from carbon free-riding.
We have to realize that, global warming is ‘human greatest threat.’ Humanity is about to face the most devastating catastrophe that mankind has encountered since the Bubonic Plague during the Middle Ages.
Either our world leaders are going to recognize global warming as a real threat to humanity and address it properly or the entire human population may become extinct. The effects of global warming are both frightening and overwhelming.
Not all what we read in the news or see on the television is true, example the thought of global warming in reaction to hurricanes. Public are not made known to a real scientific experiments. Scientists are being prohibited by politician not to publish all their data and findings on the current impact of global warming. It is only made known to the public that human are clearly contributing to the emission of CO2 in the air from burning of fossils fuels. No detail data were provided as the exact impact, because it is stops by politicians. It is just for political economic reasons and not for human well fare reasons. It is unethical and immoral to prohibit the scientist in providing a true data. However that is what being practice by politician all over the world including Malaysia. According to Utilitarian Ethical Philosophy, “we must provide the maximum benefit and happiness to the maximum number of people,” while according to Kant, “whatever we want to do our intentions must be pure in the intentions.” The question is, are our leaders pure in their intention to the people?
