The end is nigh!
I went to see "An Inconvenient Truth" on Sunday with my family. Global Warming has been on my mind since I went to England in August and discovered how dire it all is, and that it is not far off, but happening now.
What a great movie. It made me angry that The Republicans cheated their way to power at the cost of so many lives, and maybe our planet. The USA produces 1/4 of the CO2 and other greenhouse gases, and is doing very little to change that Federally.
Yet those same cheating Republicans also gave Al an opportunity to work globally to change what we are doing, and maybe stop the madness. Maybe.
As I drove (I confess) to work, I heard Jim Mora and a guy from Dunedin joking about how global warming really wasn't their number one issue. I know my house will be under water if even half the dire predictions come true. I wondered how much of Dunedin would go under? And scarily, the ice caps are melting now!! This is not a theory that might happen way in the future. It is our reality. And still we joke and wonder!
I also read that there is concern in Japan their population might shrink. Concern?? The earth’s population is increasing exponentially. Celebration would be the right word. If it doesn’t start shrinking we are just going to run out of water and food. In which human hating economic model is that a good thing?
And still the media joke and aren't sure!! I guess it doesn't sell well.
