2007s Weird Weather


This next story is important not just for today, but for a long time to come. It is a story about the man made impact on our global weather. 2007 was one of the hottest years on record.

When the calendar turned to 2007, the heat went on and the weather just got weirder. January was the warmest first month on record worldwide, 1.53 degrees above normal. It was the first time since record-keeping began in 1880 that the globe's average temperature has been so far above the norm for any month of the year.


And as 2007 drew to a close, it was also shaping up to be the hottest year on record in the Northern Hemisphere.

The extremes caused by global warming shall continue to vary and worsen as we get closer to the tipping point of planetary collapse. Whether it is partially or fully caused by man, we need to do what we can to lessen the effects of this strange weather. In this regard, I am not a "Al Gorian" phony, who preaches on the dangers of global warming, and then hops his fuel guzzling private jet, but more like Bill O'Reilly, who thinks we are impacting the planet, and while not going fanatical, he believes it is our responsibility to leave the planet cleaner than we found it! So let's all do our part to "leave" the Earth better off, than when we arrived on it!!
