note: I started writing this last week! sigh. I’ve been a busy girl.

I am astounded at the people who think global warming isn’t a threat with all of the evidence all over the place saying that it is. The lastest being a report published by United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

“The whole of climate change is something actually here and now rather than something for the future,” said Neil Adger, a British lead author of the report.

I really just don’t understand how people can be so blind. How can they not see that this is a real threat right now? It is a real and serious threat and our country needs to do our part to reduce our emissions. And people need to come to grips with the fact that it is real. It is not a political ploy made up by Al Gore. It is not something that should be dividing our country. People need to wake the hell up. Turn off Fox News and back slowly away from the television.

Somebody that I know was raked through the coals for making a little comment about global warming. It was an innocent comment. Almost a joke. Someone made some comment about the weather and the comment, “maybe it’s global warming” was stated in response. A person sitting in the room (it was a staff lounge. Not were I work, btw. I work with really normal people, thank god) totally ripped into this person that I know (the one who made the “global warming” comment). She stated that it isn’t real, it’s just a myth, blah blah blah blah blah. I think we all know the talking points. I guess this person was even getting angry, trying to defend her idiotic position. And in the end, that’s what she looked like. An idiot. A raving lunatic.

Here is the original CNN article I read on this:
