Nothing wrong with the weather eh....

This one goes out to all the neocons, anti-climate change folks out there. I sit here again listening to yet another series of weather events that have been extreme, out of the ordinary and deadly. After a winter that has been very long and came with way more than snow than our averages in Southern Ontario, now we enter the tornado season. Soon to be followed by hurricane season and I am certain heat waves and drought over the summer.

And yet, there are those that continue to say it's just normal change and man hasn't had any impact. Huh?

Even though we have 800,000 years of ice records from the polar regions that show that while some fluxuations are normal, the very recent last 2,000 years of rapid changes and then extraordinary changes of the last 100 years shows to me with clarity that man is having an impact. How can we not be impacting our earth? Pumping CO2 into the sky as we burn oil and coal for power and cars cannot lead to good changes in our planet! How can it?

Sure the sun is having impact, but if records dating back 800,000 years show rising CO2 levels since mans choice to burn oil and coal for power, then it cannot be just the sun.

Nay sayers are quick to say that it can't be true because Al Gore still uses his plane or burns alot of power in his home-that is the dumbest arguement ever!!! Just cuz Al doesn't do more to help our cause doesn't make the information he has shared mute! It just means he has poor personal power management issues.

Come on NeoCons and nay sayers- help us out a bit-it won't kill ya! Turn down the thermostat 1 degree in the winter and up 1 or 2 in the summer: drive your monster SUV's a little bit less and maybe even walk or bike a bit-hell, that can only help your health: reduce your garbage-recycle, reuse- demand less packaging at your shops of choice: shop locally, support small business locally, buy local food and stop going afar for products- it's good for you, good for our economy, good for the planet: change your light bulbs to LED's or CFL bulbs and use less lights at night-a little dark won't be scarey! All of these little changes save you some money, helps our planet and helps your local economy~ all good things for everyone! Come on, it ain't gonna hurt!
