Have you seen the Today show broadcasting from the Arctic Circle, the Equator and Antarctica? I watched a portion of it today with great interest as they are highlighting some of the most important regions in our world to monitor and better understand climate change.
If you saw any of the Planet Earth series televised earlier this summer, you know what peril Polar Bears are facing, and there are many other species at risk too.
Makes you wonder how high the water will rise.... if icebergs and glaciers continue to melt. And you probably know that with warmer temps, the mosquito season is lasting much longer these days and the multiple problems associated with that.
Whether you believe that global warming is happening from man-made causes or just a radical shift in weather patterns, the data is in that the earth is warming up at a pretty fast pace.
What things are you doing to reduce the size of your carbon footprint? Do you think it's enough to help turn things around? Will there soon be legislation on a large scale to change current energy usage? What will the earth look like 100 years from now?
This obviously isn't medical transcription related, but a mini-diversion to think about how we preserve this precious spinning globe we call home.
