Michelle's Family

You know, I was always a kind of "green" person.  From the time that I learned about water conservation, fossil fuels, CFC's and recyclying as a child, I've wanted to take better care of our planet.  But here I sit as an adult, a few years older....and a heck of a lot smarter, and I realize that I can't believe everything that I was taught as a child or even what I'm being told as an adult.  Especially what I'm told as an adult. 

So here I sit at the computer at 2:39 in the morning, freezing, and I can't help but wonder, "Where the heck is the global warming that is suppossed to be killing the planet as we speak?"  No doubt, if you listen to some some people who've made the environment their "religion", you'd believe that we are still indeed in global warming.  It doesn't matter that this has been the coldest winter in many, many....many years.  Yes, these religious freaks will continue preaching they tired sermon to every person who will buy into it.  The funny thing is back in the 70's Newsweek Magazine was trying to raise awareness and warn people about the "The Coming Iceage". 

Global warming?  Here's an interesting article that I just found on this very topic. 

It's interesting to note that it's become such a fad thing to be "green" and "prevent" global warming, if you are scientist who disagrees with this doom and gloom assessment, or questions this supposed warming, you are completely ridiculed. This has been true for several years.  It hasn't gotten any better for the dissenting scientist since this article was written. 

So what's a sane, non-evironment-worshipping, thinking person to do?  Glad you asked.  Well, reasonable people need not do this. How about being responsible with what you use or purchase?  That's simple enough...and you should do that whether we're in "global warming" or not.  Don't waste things just because you can.  Recycle.  Purchase gas efficient vehicles if you can afford them. Etc.  You know all of that.  But most of all, quit panicking.  I think it's just a tad too soon to declare that the sky is falling.
