DH is sitting in front of the fire muttering about Gore and laughing.

The Roses loved it.

I have to empty the ashes out of the fireplace AGAIN, and sweep up his trail of firewood bark chips.

We DH's leave those messes so you DW's will know we still love and need ya'll!!! Simply a subtle sign of affection and appreciation. (just wait til ya'll see what we leave ya for Mother's Day!!). ; - )

DH don't want to see what happens when he tells me he is leaving a mess to prove how much he loves me.

I just can't wait until it gets hot in Texas so they can tell us it is because of Global Warming.

Snork!

Think back and understand the differences, between now and just a few decades ago.

There is no doubt that "global warming" is not only quite real, but that because we have refused to face the issue in a timely manner, and take corrective action when we should have, we now have what amounts to a "dire emergency", and if we don't all demand change, there isn't going to be much of a planet around, in 50 yrs.

It is up to you.....think about what your kids and/or grandkids, and their kids will have to face. I don't have any.....so I don't have to be concerned for them. However, I am concerned for others.

We can't be keeping our heads in the sand forever. The changes aren't going away, and sooner or later, you are going to have to take the head out of the sand. Let's hope it won't be too late to delay the inevitable.

hotter hot, colder cold, more episodes like we've just had (freezing weather after spring is well under way, hot spells in January, etc), tornadoes where tornadoes used to be unheard of, hurricanes of massive proportions & power, etc.

sound familiar?

We could throw statistics from both sides around and it would prove nothing, least of all that man is causing the unproved warming. Warming such as we have now was also a trend before automation, the combustion engine, etc. We are not in control of the climate, and we cannot fix what is not broken.

We've been keeping records for maybe 100 years ±. The trees have been keeping record for millenia. They have recorded many climate changes in their rings (dendrochronology). I think it is a stretch that mankind is the cause. Isn't there more volcanic activity now than in recent history? (I think I've seen that on the Discovery channel). Volcanoes not only produce the potentially harmful gases, dust, etc; but, they also DELIVER it to the upper atmosphere.

I understand that even if we did everything to stop the catastrophic atmospheric progression, it would occur anyway. Meaning: we didn't start it - we can't stop it.

A battleship-sized asteroid that has been named Apophis is scheduled to fly by closer to earth than some of the currently orbiting communications satellites. If Apophis doesn't hit us on the 2029 pass, earth's gravity might deflect it just enough so that it hits on a subsequent pass.

Truth can be inconvenient, but lies and hype are too often far too convenient.
