It was 4 degrees this morning

and I’m guessing that if not for global warming according to the current thought, it would have been 3 degrees. We are all in danger, we may all fry. This must be fought at all costs, that extra degree to boost us to 4 could destroy the world, get out your sunscreen. I found this lovely article on BBC, a chat with Michael Crichton about his new book here somewhat similar to the article we read the first day in class.
My point to this post is what if there really is no such thing as human caused global warming, and we (humans) identify global warming as the sole problem as here and not look at possible other problems. Global warming is being blamed for causing so many of Africa's problems and that is the reason according to the article. In the article it estimates trends for the next fifty years, but yet we only started noticing global warming in about the last twenty years or so. If the trend continues as the author of the second article says it would be 6 degrees this morning, and than boy would we be in trouble. They say global warming affects the weather and say how it would affect the weather, and we all know how accurate weather predicting is. So in 50 years Logan this morning would have been 6 degrees and only have had 7.2 feet of snow this winter and that is a worst case scenario. Run for the hills or your local environmental group to save us from this frightening future.
