UGH

Below is a little blurb from Salon.com article about the Climate Security Act. Click on the text and read the article. It's well worth it. I don't care what your affiliation is- this is our planet we're talking about and I don't know if you noticed, but we've only got one.


...If the science of the last few years and the painful reality of a changing climate haven't persuaded the conservative movement of the dire nature of human-caused global warming, I can't imagine what chain of catastrophes would. We've already had record-breaking droughts, heat waves, wildfires, deluges, super storms and flooding at home and abroad -- just as climate science predicted. And we've had far more loss of ice from Greenland, Antarctica and the Arctic Sea than anyone expected.

volunteering is good, esp. after the waters of iowa. now, if we could only get rep. chuck hagel to speak about the environment as passionately as he speaks about anti-war, maybe we'd have something rolling. i really enjoyed your site and will read more. I found your blog because i've been a joni mitchell fan for 20 years. anyway, i hope to respond and we can talk further. good to find a fellow midwesterner who doesn't know what they want to do with their life. lol p.s. tomcilek@yahoo.com

sincerely, tom
