All Joking Aside

Global Warming-Putting all the Pieces together. Global Warming is now getting attention of the State Department with appointment of a new Special Envoy who is reaching out for your brilliant ideas. If Carbon in the air is what is creating the atmospheric changes when we solve the problem by cutting back on carbon release into the atmosphere and we prevent the destruction of trees that store carbon to create oxygen. Apparently more carbon is emitted from the killed trees in the rainforest deforestation slashing/burning trees than in transport industries. Remember from your sixth grade science class that plants eat C02 to create oxygen. The C02 is causing then global warming climate change that the President had to address in his speech (see entry below). That in turn causes massive floodings (a la Lourdes), heatwaves, droughts, and other extreme freaky weather. We have to both cut back on emission of Carbon into the Atmosphere as well as save the trees. This isn't earthy tree huggy nonsense from people with too much time on their hands and too little hardship to understand the economies needs. What environmentalists know is that the budget for addressing climate disasters is enormously taxing - the costs in ignoring it will bankrupt us. Think Sandy times ten in twenty years in five cities. Think more of Manhattan and New Jersey underwater for longer periods of time. Think droughts that drive food prices up. Its too expensive to ignore. Its not fluffy science any more. Its get real time folks.
