While no peer-reviewed scientific articles doubt the presence of the global warming phenomenon and it's intricate tie to human activity, we humans still tend to think of global warming as a theory. Here in Denver, we've had 2 blizzards in the past month. We're looking at an ice storm tomorrow, something almost never recorded in this area. I didn't really know how to respond to the icon I saw on my weather report, so foreign it was. We've had hurricanes across our coasts, record high temperatures during Summer, the hottest year ever on record (remember, the last 10 years are all at the top of the 'hottest year ever' list). The question is not 'Are we changing the environment,' but instead, 'Why haven't we stopped?' or perhaps 'How long before our planet becomes uninhabitable for us?' This stuff really should matter to everyone. That it doesn't makes me weep. 50 years. 100 years. 200 years. Eventually, we're gonna lose in the Humans vs. Planet Earth battle--the planet is unimaginably larger than we are. We'll not destroy the planet, but we sure can destroy it for ourselves. Belch more CO2 into the air. Continue melting our ice caps (how many more years before those melt enough to remove Florida from our maps?).
