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...
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?
Well, I am sure most of you have heard about the recent report on climate change. Just in case you missed it the assessment released by the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded for the first time that evidence of the earth's rising temperatures was "unequivocal" and that this warming was more than 90% likely to be the result of human activity. Pretty serious stuff coming from a panel of climate scientists! Yet here in the United States it certainly seems like nothing is going to be done... There really is just too much big oil/energy money involved... I mean isn't that George's excuse why we didn't sign the Kyoto protocol? He said it would hurt our economy.
So how about as Americans we simply change our everyday life and and for God's sake make some noise, I mean there is always power in numbers and change is possible no matter what anyone says. Stop being the typical self-centered individual and think about future generations.
Voice you opinion and help save humanity from itself before it is just too late...

As I see more and more evidence coming out everyday it seems pretty obvious that there is scientific consensus that "Climate Change" is in fact happening, and has been accelerating. So my question to you is what is it that we can really do about it? Are we already past the tipping point, or is there still time left to save humanity from itself? Is greed going to drive our planet into oblivion or will greater minds prevail and unify against big money and big politics? These are the questions that need to be asked to our leaders, so do not be afraid to let your voice be heard!
Watch these videos below and let me know what you think we can do to solve this growing problem...
This video is straight from the recent World Economic Forum, these people are the brightest and best when it comes to the science behind climate change... have a listen to what they have to say. Frightening predictions on our changing world, but they do lay out a couple things that need to be done immediately if humanity is going to survive. Remember, no one country can solve this problem on it's own, now is the time for unity is our environmental policies... check out my "far out" ideas of a national recycling program or the solar powered indoors... hey just go out and make some damn noise you and I can make a difference!
This video from the weather channel show some of the different ways the religious groups are getting involved and spreading the word about what is happening to our planet. It is good to see the science is finally starting to win the battle here. I have read numerous articles lately about Exxon Mobile paying scientists to dispute climate change and it is really disheartening.
People though are waking up and seeing these changes for themselves though. I mean just look at this "winter" that we have had this year. I personally have never seen anything like it! I had new mum plants springing up from the ground in my backyard around Christmas and no snow what so ever here in Michigan. Plus it was just released yesterday that 2006 was the warmest year on record. These type of stories are starting to hit the front page and I say keep them coming... you can only fool the people for so long!
