Global warming

[kokopup]

It is true that there is evidence that a tropical rain forest existed on the east shore of the gulf of Alaska. That was 40-50 million years ago. It took millions of years to go from that tropical age to the cold climate of just 50 years ago. The problem is we are seeing warming in just a few decades not thousands of millions of years as would be the norm. The change we are seeing today is very rapid and accelerating at an alarming rate. Warming is real and worsening much to fast. It will take a Global change in how we use our resources or we will pay the consequences in our lifetime.

I don't think that I'll ever see it in what's left of my lifetime, and maybe not even that of my children's. Certainly I feel that it will impact my grandchildren and beyond. It's going to be a long, hard sell, to convince people to change. Everyone has gotten too comfortable with the way of life that progress has afforded them, and unfortunately, most will not want to make any sacrifices to turn this all around. I feel that too many take the "I'm not going to be around for it to affect me, so why should I bother to make a change?" attitude, or the attitudes such as "blue's" who believe that, we the people, are not the cause, and it's just the natural course of events.
It saddens me to say this, but I'm glad I won't be around to see the results, if we continue on this destructive course.
