Well, sort of. As part of the blog action day, I just remembered to post about the environment today. If you want, scroll to past post "The Trouble With the Environment," and read more. As it is, I write today to tell you all that there is still trouble with the environment. Most people have some twisted idea of what is going on, and here's my own twisted account.
Basically, we have this unpleasant phenomenon called global warming greatly affecting us, and more importantly, the earth. This is NOT a repeat of natural warming periods. Whatever the scientists whose research is paid for by Exxon Mobil may say, global warming is caused by humans. We pollute like nothing else, and like nothing else before us. Our factories, cars, houses, farms...all of them put toxins into the earth. I support the greening movement, and the advent of stuff to make our homes more eco-friendly. We need to go further. Imposing limits on industries pertaining to how much they can pollute, more and more research into alternative sources of fuel, limiting sprawl...all this and more needs to be done to help the environment and to start to put right our wrongs.
This year the arctic ice melted farther back than it has in recent history. Lets try to keep that as the high point for melting. Less pollution, more awareness. The US is notorious for insular cluelessness...lets try and solve that problem too. Get cracking, America!
