If you haven't yet gotten the message- drought, hurricanes, floods, record highs, record lows- this is called climate change. Everyone has been affected in some way. Probably the most overt example to me is hurricane Sandy. The weather is trying to tell us a secret and that is that we are polluting the world with some gases that don't have an odor or a color. They envelop the the atmosphere and cause a trapping of heat that can change the wind and water currents, increase the number of catastrophic storms and cause the Arctic ice to melt into the oceans.
We have all heard about the idea of global climate change. Some of us have worried about this, some think it is a load of crap. I mean the Northern states just had the coldest temps in a long time- so what do we have to worry about? I will tell you what we have to worry about- Greenland is melting . and if the glaciers melt completely- the sea will rise over 20 feet. There goes the coast.
If you are concerned watch last week's episode of Vice on HBO.
We need to decrease greenhouse gases by 80% or there will be a global catastrophe in 3 generations. Does this sound serious to you?
