Denial, denial...

One of the things I'm used to doing when I get at work is checking the news on the web. Might set my mood for the day if I find something intersesting, which is, I guess, better than having my mood set on the weather forecast.And this morning, I found this article in Le Monde that made me stop for a moment. More or less, it was about scientists betting that global warming would pause for a few years. Nothing big, just small variations, that have always happened and don't change much, nothing you would notice on a larger period of time. What disturbs me is the way information is molded. What will people remember of the news ? Mostly the title.On the French article, "Des chercheurs parient 5 000 euros sur une pause dans le réchauffement" (Scientists bet € 5,000 on a global warming pause). On another article (in English this time), "Global Warming May Take Ten Year Break".Fine ! Fine ! So we can go on like nothing's happening for another decade !!! How convenient. Let's wait for politicians in all countries getting ready to say : a."See, global warming is not such a threat, average temperatures are colder than last year !". b. "See, the Kyoto protocol was enough, global warming is slowing down!" c. "Global warming ?"Sometimes I get so angry I'd like to say "I don't understand how people can be so [insert swear word of your choice] stupid", but I won't. Because I do.Well, it is sunny today.
