This is What Global Warming Looks Like

Posted By mike On April 1, 2010 @ 10:34 am In Small Foot Print | No Comments

Let’s be clear, many of know first-hand that the weather has changed. It is more extreme and that is part of global warming. The extreme weather is the first catastrophic impact of the changes that come due to the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the environment.

The commercial opportunists who are paid to be global warming deniers have some responsibility for these kind of destructive weather events. And believe me, there are more to come.

We can only mediate the impact by jumping into a new era of human existence on the small blue planet, an era when we abruptly stop burning fossil fuels as the primary source of power generation.

New England floodwaters recede, but danger remains

WEST WARWICK, R.I. – Stacey Marcure thought she and her family had survived the worst of flooding two weeks ago, when no more than 5 inches of water seeped into her basement. Then she woke to a fresh burst of heavy flooding spurred by record-setting rainfall that caused havoc in this former mill town and much of the Northeast.

The latest flooding there was far worse than an inundation earlier this month in the same areas, and the ripple effects were vast and still being tallied: Hundreds were forced from their homes and thousands of properties lost power. Bridges and highways were washed out from Maine to Connecticut and sewage systems were overwhelmed to the point that families were asked to stop flushing toilets.
