NEW CS MONITOR WEB-SITE

The Christian Science Monitor announced today the creation of a website to monitor activities, actions, and news related to Global Warming. They felt a "one-stop shopping center" was needed so people had easy access to the latest information. This site is http://www.csmonitor.com/globalwarming/

Also today, they issued a report on whom will be hit the hardest ...first...by the Global Warming phenomenon. And it isn't people! Check it out at http://www.csmonitor.com/2007/0406/p01s03-wogi.html?s=wklyenv

AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH

I'd like to congratulate Al Gore for winning the Oscar for his documentary on Global Warming - AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH. Mr. Gore has been talking and writing on this subject for a couple decades now, and it looks like the rest of the world is finally catching up with him. (And Al, I really think you won the election .... I really do!).

However, as a few people have pointed out recently ... Al Gore's increase in girth looks like he hasn't been trying to save the planet ... it looks like he has been trying to eat the planet!

Many conservatives have been saying they don't believe in Global Warming and therefore we shouldn't do anything about it. But some people suspect that because of the results of recent elections, the conservatives would just as soon have New York and Los Angeles under water.

UN GLOBAL WARMING REPORT

There has been much publicity given to the recent UN report on global warming which stated that there is a 90% chance that the climate change we are beginning to experience has been caused by human activity, not normal earth environmental cycles. This morning's Christian Science Monitor contains a very interesting article featuring clips of statements made around the world regarding the UN report. It includes comments by governmental officials, environmental activists, even oil company executives. (Some are beginning to cut ties with organizations who have been refuting human responsibility for climate change) It's worth a read at http://www.csmonitor.com/2007/0208/p25s01-sten.html?s=hns

The photo on this post illustrates the growing plight of polar bears in the arctic region. They are running out of a place to call home. My wife and I are planning a trip in conjunction with a few friends to visit Churchill in Canada this October to view polar bears while they are still there to view. This is a very rapidly declining species.
