i was watching the movie an inconvenient truth by al gore tonight.(a little shout out to netflix, i just joined and i love the selection and the idea of having movies sent to me!! it's awesome ). while he explaining how green house gases cause global warming it occurred to me that it's kind of like being at a party with a lot of people smoking cigarettes. there's always this layer of smoke that just hangs there in the air and the more people who smoke enter the house the thicker that smog gets. it's not easy to get all that smoke out of the house after everyone has left either.
some people don't think there is really any problem with this thing called global warming. i want to make another comparison to cigarettes here. when the surgeon general said studies showed that cigarettes cause heart disease cancer emphysema, the tobacco companies said that other studies showed no connection between smoking and these diseases. i remember thinking ,'well maybe cigarettes are bad but no one seems to know for sure, so i'll just keep smoking till they do'. that was pretty stupid huh? well maybe global warming isn't real but do really want to be 'stupid' and do nothing? maybe it will it just go away. maybe we will just go away with global warming as well.or our kids will.
peace
