As someone who has been involved in aid-work off and on for the last fifteen years, probably the first question I get asked – after “is there any money in aid-work, then?” – is “so is it all our fault that the planet hates us?”
My answer is usually very brief for 2 reasons. 1) I don’t honestly know and 2) would my opinion really help?
Well, I have come to the conclusion that actually my opinion might help. Because although it may sound harsh, it may also wake a few people up. So here goes nothing.
In many ways, we have caused these natural disasters. At least in my opinion. After all, we have pumped stuff into the atmosphere for many years, and none of us would ever dream of giving up flying for good. But then again, what you must understand with the world is that it has been around much longer than us, obviously. And it’s due to this fact, and our brevity on Earth, that we just don’t have enough information to really conclude any absolutely bona-fide results. That’s to say that we don’t know yet how much is our fault – what we do know, though, and with clarity, is that we have accelerated any problems that were already there.
Now, that’s possibly a bit vaguer than you hoped, but there it is. It can’t be helped. And that is likely to be how it remains too, until the papers stop printing news about armed forces insurance and the never-ending war in Iraq.
