Global warming-yeah or nay

[carl1951]

I have to say: yeah

I have heard the argument warming and freezing of the earth is cyclical. Has happened through the melleniums. I think it is happening faster than ever. Concrete absorbs heat and there is alot more of it than ever. Less trees, grass, etc.

The seasons are blurring together. The air is fouler. There is only so much that can plowed under for steel and concrete.

I really believe people have an intuition things are "just not quite right."

I think we're in the "cleansing."

I have to say yeah, too.
A couple of years ago I would definitely have said, Nay, it's just the normal variations of weather.
But now? This is not normal. I am sad to say, this is our doing

So, this time it feels more appropriate than ever to say:

Take care and keep smiling

Al Gore received his Nobel Prize today. His acceptance speech is here for those who may be interested in reading it.

God love ya mlm, you keep me updated on US news so well. Lots of reportage here but first time I have seen direct link.

We (Aus) are signing up to Kyoto Protocol. Oh how quickly things change!

As one of our crusty old National commentators wrote last week - only three weeks ago could you have imagined that Australia was sending its "40 yr old, female, openly gay Climate Change Mnister who is an Australian of Chinese-Malay background " to represent us in negotiations.

No you could not have. We weren't even going.

And yes, I absolutley think its real. Try living with water restrictions.

Cheers

The seasons are definitely shorter and this year, weather-wise, was one for the books. Global-warming? I'm not sure but I do think we are going through a climate shift similar to the mini Ice Age seen during the Middle Ages.
