I think we'll see massive changes within our lifetime. It will definitely change the way we live our lives. I'm not a doomsday believer but global warming is certainly real and it's had some profound affects our world in the last 10 years. I can only imagine what it will be like in 50. I live in Vancouver Canada so it's not that bad, but this summer we had what had to be the biggest electrical storm we've ever had that I can remember which is very very unusual for us. I'd had to live in the mid west in the states or east coast. They seem to deal with 2, 3, 4 storms every year. |
See I think this gets a lot of people. They don't want to be labled as doomsayers, but reality is is that it is getting worse and evidence points to it accelerating.. so its very feasible that we could be facing some huge issues in the next even 10-20 years, say for example, the American Bread Basket dries out, or New York gets put out for weeks due to another hurricane. I live in PA in the NE US, and I mean this has been the warmest winter i can recall, i know I'm 19, but it just doesn't feel right. In my area though we're far enough from the coast to not worry about flodding, we still get a good bit of rain so no worries of draughts right now. I guess I'm pretty fortunate as well.

I agree, this October it was still warm enough to wear shorts in Vancouver. Only in the last month has it actually cooled off a bit. Although our summer wasn't all that hot, but what was weird about it was that it wouldn't cool off very much during the night, and for Vancouver to have an lightening storm that lasted for aboutan hour is VERY odd. The longest I can remember there being a lightening storm before this was for about 5-10 minutes tops. Different places are being affected in different ways. I don't think where I live will be as bad as the Mid west of america or north east. They seem to get it bad, but eventually who knows.
What makes me mad is that there are so many alternative eco friendly energies out there that we could be using or funding, but the government won't do so because of all the profits in oil.
I was walking down along the street and I heard this voice saying, "Good evening, Mr. Dowd." Well, I turned around and here was this big six-foot rabbit leaning up against a lamp-post. Well, I thought nothing of that because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name.
