Saw Al Gore's "an inconvenient truth" a few weeks ago in the US. Made a lasting impact on me, whether or not the data was all above board or not. Didn't bother me that some felt he tried to put his political angle into it - I didn't see him doing that intentionally. It was just to make a point on reasons why climate control legislation didn't move forward in the biggest polluter's senate. Only when people are seeing unseasonal stuff for the past 2 years (eg. groundhog day coming early, cherry blossoms in jan/feb) that the general public is finally saying "you know what, those guys were right 10 years ago". Personally, am very worried since this also ties in with ancient mayan/indian theory about how this is the last civilization before "Pralay" (final devastation) occurs in only a few centuries from now (or maybe earlier). More on that later one day. Richard Branson has declared a high cash prize for anyone with ideas on how to manage global warming but not sure that's the right approach:-) ! Though no harm in doing so - at minimum a great PR gimmick to get attention on the problem.
This matters to me and to my family - it's personal now. Ironically, am facing another d-day of my own (albeit on a smaller scale) - am bringing in my own child into this world in 3 month's time! Hope he/she will get to live in a normal world with normal weather - a world that lasts his/her lifetime at the minimum.
