Catastrophic Consequence
In the seventeenth century Galileo looked at Copernicus’ findings and published scientific evidence that the Earth revolved around the Sun. He was an ardent member of the Roman Catholic Church. The Church gave him two options: recant his ideas or face execution! Even if he recanted his books would be banned and he would be put under house arrest for the rest of his life. He chose the latter! But that didn’t change the fact that the Earth revolved around the Sun.
In the 19th and 20th centuries it has become clear that the way we’re using up the earth’s resources is creating Climate Change. There are those making a financial profit by using up those resources. If we continue to use the earth’s resources in this way, Climate Change will be catastrophic to all life on Earth! Those making a financial profit using up the earth’s resources want to deny Climate Change. That doesn’t change the fact that Climate Change is happening and marching us toward catastrophic consequences.
