You gotta love it when history repeats itself... These are some sad similarity between the cover-up with tobacco smoke and climate change. Disturbing really that there are people out there that would rather swim in their dirty oil money rather then think about future generations. Don't the people that work at at these places have children?
How do I hate Exxon mobile? Let me count the ways...
Wake up and smell the exhaust people! The time to change is now, we cannot wait any longer. Please do your part to make our earth a better place to live....

As I am sure most of you know plants and trees breath in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. Well with all of the talk these days about climate change and increasing levels of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere you would think we would be more concerned with our disappearing rain forests. This is yet another factor that will add to the snowball effect of climate change.
Think of it this way we are releasing more and more co2 in the air every year, but there are less and less trees ever year to combat this increase in co2 levels. Not too mention as the earth warms up certain areas throughout the world that were covered with permafrost are thawing. As the ground thaws it releases the c02 that has been trapped under ground which adds to the snowball effect.
Another part of the snowball effect is when ice and snow in the poles and other areas melt it leaves nothing but water. The heat that reflects down from the sun normally reflects off the snow/ice and is not absorbed. Unfortunately, when there isn't any snow this heat is absorbed by the water which only increases the warming.
What do you think are these real problems that the human race has to deal with or should we just forget about it and go on with our everyday lives happy to scarf down that cheeseburger and enjoy our mindless reality television?
Well, it is pretty obvious really, considering they are the biggest corporation in the world and derive all of their profits from oil which has been proven to cause climate change. So Exxon flexes it's financial muscles again, this time to try and sick the IRS on greenpeace... have they no shame? I am beginning to think that this company is run by the devil himself... hmm maybe I am on to something there...

Well, I think not... in fact personally I think if he/she/it saw us messing up the planet the way that we are, why would he/she/it even care what happens to the human race? They gave us this beautiful planet and we have done nothing but plunder it's resources since the industrial revolution... Sure our grandparents and parents got us into this mess, but it is up to our generation to come up with real solutions to these global problems....
The video below is an interesting look at what the Evangelical Christian think about climate change... I think it is actually quite funny that there are still some people out there that believe this is some kind of political conspiracy. Why would there be some massive GLOBAL conspiracy? Pull your head out of the sand and do a little scientific research!
This is not just an issue in the USA it is happening all over the world and people are talking about it all over the world! These people are not republicans and democrats, they are simply humans that give a damn about our future generations!
Find out why some of us are so ignorant to the facts here or you can find out why the American government is a big part of the problem here!
Maybe we should start taking this a little more seriously. This phenomenon could have devastating effect on of crops not only this year, but next! It is still unclear what exactly is causing Colony Collapse Disorder, but you can take a look at this for a couple different opinions...
One thing is for sure though, without the proper funding scientific research will just be too late! What if the worst case sernerio happens, and we have even fewer bees next year? I am not sure if we can afford to take that kind of chance! Check out this view on the story, skip about 1:30 into it if you don't like Bill Mayer...
Albert Einstein said that if the bees die off then the human race has 4 years to live! That is just plain scary...
He does a good job laying it all out there, the question still remands though, "Is anybody listening?" Here is yet another report from Germany...
How about a post from The Heartland... This is a report from a local news station in Ohio here in The States!
As you can see, this is certainly not an isolated issue as Colony Collapse Disorder has been reported in the following places
USA- 27 states, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Poland, India, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Greece, Switzerland, Germany, Taiwan, Brazil, Guatemala, The Netherlands, and Germany
This is a global problem and something needs to be done and fast... this story is quickly spreading as the spring crops are starting to bloom all over the world. If you still don't believe just search the recent news for bees, it seems to be everywhere...
Well, much to the surprise of some individuals the arctic appears to be melting even faster than previously thought. In fact, some of the latest finding even suggest that the arctic will be ice free be the year 2050 or sooner. As you may know many scientists had already suggested that the IPCC might have been too optimistic when the report was released on April 6, 2007.
If you would like a little more background about the serious effect of climate change on out planet check out this clip released today from reuters...
When do you think the Bush administration will start taking this seriously? This may give you a little hint! Very disheartening to see such a stubborn ignorant man leading our country in so many wrong directions...
"Shooting for early retirement, but the day's not quite long enough..." As you can see I run what feels like about a million websites. Hope you find at least one of them interesting : )
