The Environment

One area of concern for the next seven years is the environment - especially global warming. Every day, there's a new headline about the rate of global warming. Its effects on our lives will be felt more and more over the next few years. Will we recognize the places we live now?

    Last night I went to a lecture about natural disasters and global warming. The speaker was saying that we (the public) are not even getting all of the gloomy news related to global warming. It is actually much worse than what is being reported, and it is happening much faster than scientists predicted. From the projections I saw, it looks like we have roughly 5-15 years, before it really kicks in. We definitely need to prepare. Establishing communities that work without fossil fuels is going to be challenging, but it seems like it is what must be done. The forecast looks very gloomy, so we must find a way to prepare, if we want to survive. It looks like at least 24% of all terrestial species will go extinct. I can't speak for how many aquatic species will as well, but the numbers are bound to be huge with the destruction of coral reefs because of the warming of the oceans. We need to take action, now!
