the environment, sadly, is a delicate thing. even the slightest change could set off something we are not prepared for. It also can have trouble making up its mind. after all, there are indications that a warmer earth can cause a cooler climate. yep, i'm not joking here. okay, say the earth heats up horridly (like its threatening to do now), the oceans expand, more water is freed up around the world...now, all that extra water is going to cause extra evaporation, meaning extra cloud cover. and that extra cloud cover is going to suceed in reflecting more sunlight, preventing the earth from heating up "properly." so, even though some places will, undoubtedly, experience droughts, it is safe to assume that other areas will also flood. and, with less sunlight (remember the extra cloud cover), the earth will eventually cool, thus stabalizing the environment a bit more. or none of that could happen. it just goes to show that we need to be more aware of what is happening to the climate and weather around us. we have to pay a bit more attention to all those green house effects and the whole global warming issue.
yep. total awareness would be great. unfortunately, there are people all over the globe who just refute scientific theories without any regard for the scientific method. in other words, they just don't want to think anything bad will happen to the earth. it's been here for a while, after all, and it's not like it will go away any time soon, right? ugh. they need to at least listen to the latest theories--and the ideas behind it--before they go off making assumptions...
well, that's enough ranting for today; i think i'll go and do something else now...
