Saving the Worst for Last
June 19, 2012 by Leave a Comment
There are so many problems in the world, from 2008 to the present, people experienced many difficulties. We see on the news every day that people are losing their jobs, stock prices are falling, debt ceiling is rising, Greece is collapsing, and in the United States, “-mageddons” are approaching.
Taxmageddon is an example, when the temporary tax cuts passed by President Bush expire when the debt ceiling is kicking in, aka debtmaggedon, United States will experience an enormous amount of debt which would lead to another recession.
While people are experiencing these “-mageddons”, Colorado is experiencing the worst wildfire in the state’s history. Texas has also experienced large wildfires last year and the worst drought since the 1950s.
Scientists connect all these natural disasters to climate change. While we sit in our house worrying about the “-mageddons”, we often ignore more serious problems that are brewing, such as climate change and global warming.

May 7, 2012 by Leave a Comment
97 percent of working climate scientists see global warming as a serious risk. The climate change skeptics have seized on one last argument that cannot be dismissed which is clouds will save us.
“They acknowledge that the human release of greenhouse gases will cause the planet to warm. But they assert that clouds — which can either warm or cool the earth, depending on the type and location — will shift in such a way as to counter much of the expected temperature rise and preserve the equable climate on which civilization depends.”
