GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL. IT IS EXPENSIVE. IT WILL GET WORSE! IT MAY NOT BE TOO LATE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! We should not leave this situation to our children and grandchildren. It will be a legacy that none of us can be proud of: "Grandpa/Grandma, why didn't you do anything to stop this?" We should be embarrassed that it has gotten this bad before we forced our leaders to act. This is one of the best sites that can be used to help people understand why the carbon cycle is so important: http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Features/CarbonCycle/
It is a bit detailed but it is critical that everyone, particularly our political leaders, gets a handle, at the very least, on understanding that rising temperatures, and rising carbon dioxide levels, are no hoax. It is no joke! It is not science researchers trying to stay employed. The information is overwhelming! It is real. The data for this graph comes for ice core samples taken from the tops of Hawaiian mountains and is correlated with other data from around the world.
This graph is a compilation of real data. It is information taken over a fairly short period of time, compared to the climate changes that involved past ice ages. The water levels will rise, have been rising, due to melting ice because it is ice that was not floating in the oceans. Some still use their ice cubes floating in their drinks as an example for why melting ice should have no impact on rising sea levels! The added water is from ice that was on land.

Big oil, and big energy, corporations, multi-international corporations, are still out there trying to keep us hooked on fossil fuels. They have billions of tax payer subsidy dollars to use to make their case that the jury is still out, to convince us that all of the evidence to the contrary is trumped up....very similar to the way cigarette companies used to operate in the United States and still do operate around the world.....but...I'll give it a go anyway..........................WHAT EVIDENCE DO YOU HAVE OF GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE? If someone were to ask you that question, you could answer: "Sea level rise, global temperature rise, warming oceans, shrinking ice sheets, dramatically increasing carbon dioxide levels, declining Arctic sea ice, glacial retreat, extreme weather events, and ocean acidification are happening, not just predicted, but have already happened! The best source I have found for the support of this information, that details each of these events, is at:http://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/

This is just the way our new system of government works. It used to be a government of, by, and for, the people, a democracy/representative republic. It is now an oligarchy/corporatocracy, a government of, by, and for, the muti-international corporations of the world. This only took a matter of weeks to happen but the 41 senators who blocked a raise in the minimum wage will have to wait to get another automatic raise until January 1, 2015! We don't even get to vote for those who are actually in control of our government. We don't get to vote for the lobbyists, the CEO's, the banking industry, the Super PACs, that are now handing out the money and controlling who gets elected, and what legislation gets passed. Just listen to the ads to try find out who is now controlling the election process. You can't always tell because they can hide behind the name of their Super PACs. htpp://movetoamend.org
