Identifying Issues for Social and Political Reform

I recently noticed these candidates running for the governors office tend to wear their fund-raising achievements like some sort of badge of honor. Yet, I never see any of them indicating how much money they raise once in office for the benefit of the State.

If they are so talented at raising campaign funds to get themselves into office, why can't they use the same talents to raise funds for the financial problems within the State.

Seemingly, the only candidates silent regarding fund-raising enterprises are the ones already in office. The rest are all money magnets and willingly broadcast it all over the place as if it makes some sort of difference to the constituents.

The fact is, it does make a difference to the constituents, but the timing is all wrong. They should be doing this once in office and announcing how successful the objective is by signifying the amounts filling the state coffers for the benefit of the constituents.

While it may appear that global warming is a real issue, the ability to determine the degree humanity is affecting the climate is of primary importance. By developing scientific means and methods in which, to better understand issues affecting climate change, how people affect the climate will better determine how much effort should be invested in efforts to mitigate the problem.

Finding out that global warming is a natural event with little or no human impact would reveal human intervention as an exercise in futility, in addition, recognizing that climate change is a very real attribute to planetary evolution with the most recent "mini ice-age" ending in as little as four hundred years ago.

It would seem placing the most useful economic support towards refining the means and methods, which determine "what" and "why" global warming is occurring makes the most sense. That way, if climate change is happening without human involvement, we will have resources available to mitigate the effects as well as protect and insulate communities from the fallout.

 Choosing to react with the presumption that human activities do affect the climate not only deprives us of resources that could prevent the unnecessary loss of life, but would also be a futile endeavor in the face of natural occurrences. A more reasonable expenditure would be to invest in mitigating the World Water crisis, something seldom discussed due to the significance of failures to foresee and prevent this most tragic incident.

Countries and politicians are forever choosing to frame their focus on items they feel present them in the best light rather than actually addressing issues and events that reveal their oversight and failures. Choosing to react prematurely to Global Warming without sound evidence of causal connections simply exacerbates an already tenuous situation. Moreover, it insures history is destined to repeat itself, rather than developing new and innovative trends, signifying change for the better.
