Ok, here it is ...yes, and no. Yes, global warming is real. It is documented that the temps have risen one degree in 150 years. That comes out to .007 degrees per year. The real questions are, is this increase natural or man-made? Can we actually change this trend, or is this just like us trying to change the path of a hurricane? We know there have been fluctuations in average temperatures as long as the Earth has existed. At the same time, we owe it to future generations to care for our planet. I believe we need to explore new energy sources, reduce consumption of resources, and, most importantly, DON'T PANIC! This planet is bigger than all of us, and will be here long after we are gone.ms84702Sat, 27 Dec 2008 02:16:33 -0000
