Those individuals/corporates/states/etc... who continue to highly 'pollute' our atmosphere with heat-trapping gases which are primarily emitted by our vehicles and industries are like frogs.
If you put a frog in a kettle of boiled water, he will immediately jump out of the kettle otherwise he will die.
But if you put a frog in a kettle of normal water and then slowy heat the water, the frog will remain in the heated water as long as he can support the temperature. It is only when he feels that the water is too hot that he will jump out of the kettle.
This is exactly what is happening to our planet earth. We are like frogs and our lands, our oceans, our atmosphere are like heated water. Most of our decision makers are aware that our planet is being slowly but surely affected by global warming but we still continue to remain in our comfort zone and concentrate on economic issues rather than environmental issues in the first place.
When will we realise that the water will eventually boil if we continue to heat it and when that happens, we will be forced to jump out (if it's not too late...). But where will we go ?????
