Climate Change Deniers

I have been watching Wonkblog Debates on Climate Change sponsored by American University in Tilt View News. This debate is interesting to me, because calamities have been taking place in the Philippines almost twelve times a year. While there are many strong advocates for climate change, there are still people who can be considered “climate change deniers” who argue that climate change is pseudo-science, a scientific fiction which has no basis in facts. The basic question is then, “What Can You Say to Climate Change Deniers?” Here are some points I got from the aforesaid debate, especially to Climate Change Deniers. We have now a high level of awareness that climate change is due to the rise of temperature in the world which is caused by the growing ozone hole caused again by wanton carbon emission. In short, climate change is induced by human’s blatant disregard of his environment. In other words, human greed is at fault, wanting to exponentially increase his production of goods without regard to environment. Climate change deniers should be treated as “health hazards”, no different from chain smokers. If there was a smoking ban in many restaurants, in public transport like trains, busses and trains, why cannot we apply the same smoking ban to climate change polluters, because such would affect the health of many?
