See & You Should Believe

The DJ and I were just reading an article from CNN. It is an excerpt from "What Matters". This is the latest book by "Day in the Life" series creator David Elliot Cohen. If you click on the slide show you will see a number of visuals, both beautiful and sad at the same time. You can see what is left of once giant ice-caps and glaciers, which now look like they have been reduced to small snow patches across green land. There are also powerful shots of white smoke rising in the air, the result of rapid coal burning, being released into China and America's atmosphere.

But along with these images are those that can give everyone some hope. You can see wind turbines, doing there job, producing clean, efficient energy. There are pictures of eager people rallying to stand up to global warming and fight for our planet's future. But this is a rally like no other. In the article it is stated that our "greatest Climatologist", James Hansen, said we have eight more years to reverse the flow of carbon into our atmopshere, or it's too late. And what does too late mean? Well a 25 foot rise in sea level is one part of the answer. I'm sure most of you don't want to imagine what that will be like, so right now we all need to put our heads together and start seeing and imagining our planet and our lives in a new light. We have the technology to make this thought a reality, so let's all work together to make this happen.

You guys need to read this article,and watch these images. It really will inspire.

Peace
