When the woman who proofreads my posts heard I was blogging about global warming, she said, “Didn’t you just do that?”
But get this. In an article about mountain climbing in the sports section of today’s New York Times, David Breashears, who has reached the top of Mount Everest five times, said he noticed water running at 26,000 feet on the last ascent. Water running means ice melting--at 26,000 feet. Mr. Breashears was quoted: “It was astonishing to see running water that high.”
The policies we need to adopt to reduce global warming would help to reduce our balance of payments, reduce air pollution, preserve West Virginia mountains, save lives, help endangered species, and, ultimately, save our planet. Five of the six Republican presidential candidates not only don’t see a connection between human activity and global warming, but also deny the very fact of global warming. This is nuts.
Apparently these nuts running for Pres. must live in a different world.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, did anyone read the artice in last nights TN about the Lehigh river. I was amazed how the writer wrote about the same things that sent to Sen. Tommey and the TN published.
At least some of us are realists.
