Summary

The writer talks about how we can save our planet. He thinks it is not easy to find the difference between the importance of our problem and the weediness of our response so far. Until 10,000 years ago, the climate would change unusually. Therefore it was very hard to develop agriculture and crops could not be harvested in that climate. Human beings were forced to the meat. After that the climate stay stable and humans could stay down too. In that period of climatic stability farming and cities were developed.
Because of the pollution of the atmosphere, there is a coming up danger. This will make the climate fluctuate violently again.
The writer believes that the individual efforts for saving the planet are not enough and not even the beginning of the solution. He thinks government should put laws in order to force us to shift towards cleaner behavior.
He mentioned example to prove his believes. Green campaigners have encouraged the Mayor of London to force SUV drivers for a punishment. Therefore many of them shift to greener cars.
The writer mentioned why we should force people to do things which protect our planet. Since our personal freedom ends where you actively hurt the freedom of another person, we should do many tings to stop harming each other by pollution the planet.
At the end the writer mentioned that we do not need the fake-libertarian excuses, we need hard government legislation.


I agree with the writer in some points, the governments should put laws which force people to protect our planet. But this is not enough, because we need the people cooperation. We can not deny the fact that many people break many laws. Therefore, we need more efforts to make people realize the real problem and can easily cooperate with the governments.
