Not
really. But the coral is
dying, which
to me says for the ocean, what “the trees are
dying” says for the land. It’s a catastrophe in
progress. And every time the subject of global
warming makes it to the evening news dubya puts on
his serious face and says he’s concerned, but the
subject needs more study because “scientists
disagree.” Doing what he does best, play dumb.
Relying on the American people to remain as
incurious and ignorant as he is allows him to use
bogus studies funded by Exxon-Mobil to negate the
work of thousands of real scientists from around
the world. Meanwhile the surface temperature in
the northern hemisphere for 2005 was the hottest
on record. The four years prior to that round out
the top 5 warmest on record. 2006 is gonna be
another hot one, maybe the warmest yet. This is a
very real problem that is happening in slow motion
right in front of all of us and all our government
wants to do is muddy the waters to avoid any real
public discourse on the subject. It’s corporate
profits at any cost. Madness.
