What:  Global Warming.

Question:  Is global warming a real concern?

Facts:   The rate of warming is increasing. The 20th century’s last two decades were the hottest in 400 years and possibly the warmest for several millennia, according to a number of climate studies.  And the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports that 11 of the past 12 years are among the dozen warmest since 1850. 

What Will Happen?: 

• Strong hurricanes, droughts, heat waves, wildfires, and other natural disasters may become commonplace in many parts of the world. The growth of deserts may also cause food shortages in many places.

• Sea level could rise between 7 and 23 inches (18 to 59 centimeters) by century’s end, the IPCC’s February 2007 report projects. Rises of just 4 inches (10 centimeters) could flood many South Seas islands and swamp large parts of Southeast Asia.

Tony Robbins, the sensei of common sense and inspiration, has long been a favorite of mine.  He makes you think deeper…and we all know how much I like big thinkers!  In this clip, he discusses why we do what we do, and how we can do it better.   I know it seems a bit campy….I can’t tell you the heat I’ve taken for my love of self-improvement books!  There’s really a rhyme and reason to it all.  It’s about growing, constantly growing, learning, and contributing to the world.  It’s about challenging yourself, especially when times are rough.  It’s about developing your emotional muscle.   Take a look at this clip and judge for yourself.  You’ll notice he high-fives my boy, Al Gore!  …by the way, have you watched An Inconvenient Truth yet?

Book Review:  My current read is Renee Loux’s Easy Green Living.  Its 396 pages of ideas to go Green.

The upside:  The book is packed full of info such as Green Living, Green Cleaning, Steps to a Green Kitchen, Natural Beauty (a favorite of mine, of course), Energy Efficiency, etc.  And, lets not lose focus here, it’s about being Green.  I support anything or anyone who supports going Green.

The downside:  The pages of the book don’t do much to draw you in with art work, and contains absolutely no pictures.  This could all be in the spirit of being Green, but I know there are soy inks that could produce some excellent photos for the book.   My personal view is…if you’re going to write a book, contain as much information as possible, and make it beautiful.  How many times do you write a book in your life….twice?  Three times?

Have you not yet considered going Green?  I strongly urge you to watch Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth.  The environment is deteriorating before us and it’s equal opportunity deterioration, whether you’re a Rep or a Dem.  Love him or hate him, and I love him, this issue isn’t about politics.  It’s eye-opening informative, and down right frightening!  Everyone I know has walked away from that movie a changed person.   Borrow it from the library, and for a sneak peek, watch the trailer on You Tube.

If you want to understand what global warming is all about, you must watch Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth.   This eye-opening piece shows you, in no uncertain terms, exactly what is happening to our planet right in front of our eyes.  It’s informative, enlightening, and terrifying at the same time.  It’s your responsibility as a human being to be educated about what we are doing to the planet.  It’s your responsibility to your children and the children that will inherit this planet one day.  Borrow An Inconvenient Truth from your library or have Netflix deliver it to your door…whatever it takes.    Please visit www.ClimateCrisis.net to find out more.
