Just a forewarning, this is a ramble. XD I'll try to keep it short but I usually have difficulties doing so. I talk too much. )X

It aggravates me that some people don't care about global warming. I understand if they don't understand how it works, therefore they aren't completely aware of what's happening with the world, but when they have to go and make broad statements of how it's something scientists made up, that's what gets me. If you make that claim, where is you basis for that? If you give falsified information to back up that statement, that's fine if that's what you really thought. Just be prepared to be corrected (by anyone who has seen the news).

This started off on a forum about a complaint about how the "globe" doesn't seem to be "warming" with such drastic temperature changes in the climate. (The girl showed the forecast for the next few days in her area where the temperature was around 25 degrees to 70 degrees). She then claimed it was "global-can't-make-up-its-mind". I had to comment and say that it's BECAUSE of global warming that the temperature changes are so drastic. Global warming doesn't really cause hot temperatures. It will actually freeze the earth over.

It would have been fine to leave it at just that, but then someone had to go and say this:
"I honestly think global warming is just something the media has stuck out there for publicity. It's more of a natural cause than anything with these temp changes and what not."

Publicity or not, don't you think it's SOMETHING people should be concerned about, anyway? Well, I know some people don't care because it's their grandkids' problem, but.. it wouldn't help to make efficient use of our energy. It wouldn't hurt anyone to recycle or turn off the lights when you're not using them. Even if you're not an all-green person, every little bit helps. It really adds up.

( Not too long for you? There's more if you're up for it. XD )
