Global Warming


It is past time to take Global Warming seriously. We wasted 8 years with Cheney/Bush who loved to ignore the facts put before them by the scientific community. Al Gore should be commended for his efforts to move us forward in Global Warming.


It is our children and granchildren who will have to breathe the fouled air and drink the disgusting water which is created by polluting. There is no such thing as 'clean coal.' Coal is a pollutant - end of story. We wasted 8 years - we don't have a lot of time to waste any longer.

Make environmental changes for our kids and grandkids. Even the Alaskan villages are feeling the effects of global warming.

I have seen shrinking glaciers as well as an eskimo village which is suffering because of changing weather which impacts the salmon and causes their village to flood in the spring. I have seen the enourmous fires caused by drought in California. I just drove by Shasta Lake and it has very little water because of drought. We need to quit ignoring the elephant in the room folks.

Agreed! Well said. We should stop calling it "global warming" because that term makes it sound like a oh-hum little problem. It's a crisis! Tell it like it is, atmospheric deterioration or some such realism.
And, the atmosphere is deteriorating because of our pre-existing conditions of stupidity and greed.
Call, write, email or somehow notify your elected officials, peeps!
Okay, I'm done yelling. That sure is one hell of a cute kid in the blue shirt.

That is my grandson. I was teaching him to skip rocks and he got carried away.
