GLOBAL WARNINGS AND CLIMATE CHANGES

So, I attended a work related conference in Los Angeles last week, and while I was there, they said on the local news that one of those days broke the record for warmest day in history (for that date). The day I got back, I spoke to my Mom on the phone, and we discussed how Lake Mead (near where I grew up) is drying up. The week before that, I watched a special Today Show where Matt Lauer and Ann Curry filmed segments from both Poles simultaneously. Much of their reporting was about the devastating effects of global warming in those regions. And finally, while attending the conference. the IPCC's final global warming report came out and gave a dire warning about climate change and emphasized the fact that we have to act before it's too late.

Since Thanksgiving is around the corner, I would like to say that I am thankful for all those people who continue to fight the fight for this important cause. And I am also thankful that those who think global warming is a myth are losing the battle. I hope next year I will be thankful that our government has taken aggressive action, but I suppose I'll have to be thankful if they do anything at all.
