Global Warming is a touchy issue but it shouldn't be. Anyone who attended public school and took regular science classes knows how the planet works. You know what green house gasses are and you know how dangerous they can be in high levels. So there's no denying that Global Warming is real. In fact Global Warming has been around since before the time of man.

It's a natural cycle the earth has gone through for millions of years. The earth's temperature rose slowly over many centuries and eventually caused the first ice age. It happened over and over again. There have been seven ice ages since the earth first formed. So Global Warming isn't something new. The problem right now is that we're burning so many fossil fuels plus we're piling up so much garbage that it's raising the level of green house gasses to levels not seen even before the most recent ice age.

People act like it's such a horrible thing to want to protect the planet, conserve our resources and create a future for our children. So why do people fight Global Warming so much? Personally I think it's due to the fact that people just don't like big changes. Yes saving the planet is going to take work and people are going to have to change the way they do things in their every day lives. Something many people just do not enjoy having to do. I totally understand that, but in the end it's not about you.

It's about protecting the future for the next generations and about defending the one and only planet we call home. Living clean and saving the environment isn't just the moral thing to do it's also a great way to save money, time and live a longer and healthier life! Did you know that one standard four bedroom house that uses solar and wind energy can store and share enough energy in one hour to power not only that house but other houses and businesses in your town?

Don't worry. According to the BBC this morning http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7154473.stm Bush says his administration "will deal" with global warming. I suspect they are fashioning the "Mission Accomplished" banner right now!
