The climate changes - Modern World's Lack of Perspective

I know that the climate-crisis is a debatable topic - Is the climate-changes done by humans? Is it natural? I suppose noone -KNOWS-. However, if you think logically, most likely it is. It is less than 300 years since the first Industrial Revolution occured. In 200 years (maybe even 100) the world's population have been -doubled-!

Now, the world have existed for billions of years.. The industrial revolution occured less than 300 years ago. A direct result of the industrial revolution was the factories, more pollution, more/bigger cities, more money, more products to be consumed, more consumers. In the shadows of this, came ideas like socialism, capitalism, communism etc.

The western world today is based on capitalism. Some countries more liberal than others, but what lies in the bottom is the ideas of capitalism. To produce more products = Creates more labor = Gives more people, more money = Lets people spend more money = Gives room for more products... Repeat. Think about this idea with the well-beeing of mother earth in mind...whoa, that's suicide! When? We don't know. But eventually, it is absolute suicide.

Now if the European Union for example said that cars were illegal..that's unthinkable! I drive my car to work everyday, to the store couple of times a week, to my mother, to my friends.. I NEED my car! Well how old is the car? The modern automobile is about 100 years old.

So, we know that the climate is going through HUGE changes. We know that the human beeing is releasing more CO2 than -ever- before. But will we make -big-, dramatic changes? No! Why? Because of history that only dates 50-100-300 years back in time.

When the north-pole melts along with the southpole, fucking up the currents in the world-oceans today that is so important for the temperatures in northern parts of the world, we will see another ice-age. Noone will be driving cars then either. Yet, I fear that the human beeing will not stop and look 100 years back to re-think our present and future..we will try to milk as much oil and money in a hurry now while we can, before mother earth collapse! Then we'll trade cars for a shovel and a pickaxe so we can dig ourselves a safe cave for our children and grandchildren! If you ask me, you might aswell be smart and start digging right away!

End this everlasting debate about Piratebay...

Alright, so now media's favorite topic (In Norwegian news-papers atleast) is the Piratebay-trial going on over in Sweden. Media tends to pick up on cases which involves "new" trends or actualities within the technological world, they just make sure to look at things from such an unprofessional view that "everyone" can read about it and know enough to chit-chat and have an opinion about it the day after, around the lunchtable at work.

First of all, articles about the keeps getting mixed up with debates on "should music, games and movies be free or not?"
This is a pointless debate.
Ofcourse it shouldn't be, and legally it isn't. However, unless internet get severely changed and moderated, it will forever be IMPOSSIBLE to make it physically impossible for people to download stuff for free. Personally, I think it's about ethics and morals within every single human beeing. I myself did not have much knowledge or interest in music until I heard about and downloaded "Napster" and started building my own personal archive of music, using my old 28.8 modem.
However, artists, CDs and games that I really enjoyed, respected and appreciated I made sure to purchase aswell. Now I have a decent CD-collection, game-collection and DVD-collection, and I can honestly say that I don't know if I've ever had this interest for these mediums unless it had been so easily accessible through the internet.

This is where I stand on the moral bit, on whether music should be accessible for free or not; It should not, but it WILL be. Record-companies should become better at making people get on their side, instead of redicilous trials such as the one against the people behind piratebay.

As for the piratebay-trial I think the idea of holding these men responsible for record-companies "lost" money is completely horrendous. It's the same as imprisoning weapon-manufacturers everytime a weapon they manufactures was used to kill a human-beeing. Are they aware of the fact that the weapons they invent and create will be used to kill people..? Yes, ofcourse they are. However, it's the person that holds the gun and fires the gun that is to be held responsible for killing another man.
Same thing with piratebay. Were they aware of the fact that this site would be used for spreading files (also illegally) through the internet? Yes, ofcourse they were. The fact of the matter though is; they were just the inventors of this service. It's whoever commits the actual crime of downloading the material that is to be held responsible.

Responsibility.. when will the greedy record-companies start taking responsibility? Instead of trying to SCARE people away from accessing music the easiest way possible, they should try to get on the people's side and look at how they can make their services more attractive and accessible for people.
Personally I look at a good album as a modern treasure; the cover, the art/presentation inside the cover and the CD itself.

Download and preview things from piratebay (or any other torrent-tracker site) and then make sure you have a clear consciense and support the artists you fall inlove with through buying their material!
