        As I was reading through articles on global warming I found this one. Although it is kind of short I found it striking that people are dismissing the whole thought of global warming. As some one had commented on it, people need to learn the difference between "weather" and "climate" changes. The weather may be cold. So what? It does not meant that the world's warming is over. There are always years where the weather is generally was or cold. In the past one hundred years our average Earth temperature has risen over a single degree. People may not think much about that, but in the long run it could be devastating. That one degree could melt non-ocean glaciers which would raise the sea level higher and higher each year. Places below sea level then have to worry how long it will be before they have to relocate. That degree can make oceans just that much warmer to create stronger hurricanes that will lead to more devastation. People think that just because the weather is cold when it is supposed to be, then scientists are wrong and global warming is still just a myth. Small things like that degree can alter the climate making storms stronger and drought longer. It will melt the glaciers our kids will never get to see. You can look at any accurate chart or graph and any one can see where it is headed. People just want to deny it like these people that wrote the article. People do not want to change their life style because everything is so convenient now. The only thing is that it wont be so convenient in the future so if you still do not believe me go and watch " An Inconvenient Truth" it may help set your mind straight. I still cannot believe what I saw in that film. It is well worth your time. Let's start off this new year right and make it a better one for our planet!
