Global Warming

Global warming is a hot topic warming up as quickly as the warming effect these activists predicted about the climate. President Al Gore is no less famous because of his speeches on global warming than his talks in presidential campaigns. In one of the speeches, he said global warming was not about controlling gas emissions from cars, nor about which land territories would disappear if sea levels rose substantially, but it was about "a collision between our civilization and the Earth".

It is indeed insightful for him to say so. Such approach is no longer environmental, but philosophical. Who would think global warming is a philosophical question in its essence?
