And I don't mean this year... I mean in the coming years. Climate change is the most serious threat to mankind, yet not a lot is being done to curb this growing problem. Maybe a few more storms like this will remind everyone that our planet will never be the same...
Just today a federal judge has ordered that the Bush administration issue two scientific reports on global warming. A group of environmentalists had sued the White House for failing to produce the documents which delays any action on their part.
Judge Saundra Armstrong is apparently not as easily bribed by large energy companies as the ones in the White House. The Judge ruled that the Bush administration had violated a 1990 when it failed to meet the deadline for and updated U. S. climate change plan and impact assessment.
As usual the Bush administration took an arrogant approach by stating that it had discretion over how and when it produced the reports... a argument that the Judge rejected... good to see there is still a little common sense here in this country.
This is a big win for the plaintiffs which include the Center for Biological Diversity, Friends of the Earth and Greenpeace.
"It's a huge victory holding the administration accountable for its attempts to suppress science," said Kassie Siegel, an attorney for the Center for Biological Diversity, one of the plaintiffs that filed suit in Oakland federal court in November.
This administration has constantly lied straight to the American public face... perhaps it is time for a change. What is your say?First from space...
This next video is taken all from St. Lucia...
Here is even more footage from the weather channel...
The following is a documentary from the David Attenborough that was released in June of 2006 called "Can We Save Planet Earth". This program features an in depth look into science that is climate change.
It shows us the effects already felt in places all around the world, the causes and the solutions... Although this video is an hour long it is something that ever person concerned with future generations of this planet needs to see!
Imagine in 50 years time looking into your children's eyes and saying "yeah we knew about it and did nothing"
The first ever recorded tornado hit Brooklyn just a couple days ago. The tornado was an F2 and is just another bad sign on the weather front...
England just recorded it's wettest 3 month period since record keeping began in 1766! You just can't make this stuff up! People need to wake up now and start preparing for the dire consequence that climate change is going to bring to our planet now, not in the future as everyone first claimed... This events are happening all over that world at an alarming rate! Buenas ares just had it's first snow fall in 90 years... WAKE UP PEOPLE!!! This is not some global conspiracy as some oil companies and republicans might like you to believe... this is happening all around our world!
Pretty scary stuff... what do you think about this wacky weather?
The line in the sand has been drawn... you are either with us or against us! It is good to see that there are people out there trying to make a difference in this world before we completely flush it down the toilet.
Leonardo Dicaprio new documentary The 11th Hour is demanding that action be taken, and not from just individuals like you and me. It is time that our governments both federal and state start coming up with a real plan to tackle the problems of climate change... With the help of people like Leo and Al it does help bring this issue to light, but the real sad part is that the scientists have been saying this for a long time we just didn't listen...
We just stand around with our hands in our pockets letting this country be run by a bunch of oil hungry politicians, makes me feel ashamed to be an American...
