“Global Warming”? I believe we have damaged the world, its animals and its oceans by severe pollution, mostly from the burning of coal and from the gasoline driven combustion engine. But whether the world is actually getting warmer because of too many people and too much crap being thrown around in it (like plastics for instance) I just don’t know. Warming and extreme weather could just be that we are in a precursor moment before another encroaching Ice Age and there’s not much we can do about that. It may just be that in a few thousand years, man will be wishing for more “Global Warming.” I certainly think we are polluting our environment in every way we can think of. Finding non-damaging energy sources is my chief priority. I am all for the development of nuclear energy for power (see the great example being set by the French) and, just incidentally, birth control all over the world wouldn’t be a bad idea either.

Before we became wOw women I was writing a book in which an important issue was Global Warming. I read a lot about it, including about 12 books, each written brilliantly by a different expert. No two books agreed on almost anything. 2 and 2 do not always make 4 in the world of science, I am afraid, and I could not find any universal certainty about Global Warming. I was left feeling that only God knows, and deeply aware of how many things I don’t know and, I fear, nobody knows. I have tried to put 2 and 2 together on the subject which would be easier if I hadn’t done any research. So my unsatisfactory answer is that I Don’t Know. I Don’t Know a lot of things. I know only a few things very well. I don’t think anybody has the answers to Iraq, just how the financial future is going to work itself out or how the financial companies will do, what will happen to the universe or what happens to us when we die. It is humbling.
