Is it hot in here? Global warm up.

Is it just me? Or is it hot in here?

Turns out that this summer is the hottest first half of the year on record in the United States. Not to mention the headlines about melting glaciers and flooding of islands.

Our current government administration has shown little inclination to address the increasingly alarming news regarding global warming. The predictions are not pretty: more severe weather in the form of monster hurricaines, tornadoes, wildfires and floods is on the way.

What was that saying about Nero, who fiddled while Rome burned?

I really don't believe it matters whether you are a Republican, a Democrat, a conservative or a liberal. Red state or blue state. We cannot wait any longer. We simply must have immediate and mandatory cuts in emissions, funding of renewable energy sources, energy conservation and an end to deforestation.

Our children are depending on us to act. Call your senators and representatives and ask what they intend to do about this problem.
