An Inconvenient Truth
Forgot to mention, go see the movie - An Inconvenient Truth. It's a documentary about Al Gore touring around the world giving slideshows and talking about climate change. It's well done and has some good up to date information on how we're heating up the planet.
Those of you who still believe that this is just a natural cycle of warming, you really, really should go see this film.
Here's a VERY simple way of cutting down on your contribution to heating up the planet:
Stop going through the drive thru at Tim Hortons! (and any other drive thrus) It makes me cringe seeing a lineup of ten vehicles all chuffing out the emissions while they are waiting to pick up a coffee. Get out of your vehicle, walk inside!
If I had more time, I would throw some more out there but that one is really urking me these days.
Anyway, go see the movie whether you believe it is something that is of concern or not.
thanks

Hey bro!! Just checking in with you, I am thrilled every time I read up on your adventure here! Plus very proud of you!! Hope the wind stays at your back!! Later you...Bonnie
Hey Bro, your 'less nice' sister here. Enjoying your blog too, although I enjoy the exciting tales from the road much more than coming away feeling guilty for driving a vehicle!!!
Hey Blaine, Kelli again, come to think of it, it totally urks me too when people are lined up in drive thrus! I think its crazy! Oh, and by the way, Carson received his first postcard the other day from you and he was most pleased with it. It was perfect! Thanks from him. Kelli
ok, i was a little hasty when i posted. yes, the earth does have natural cooling and warming cycles. we're just accellerating this warming cycle at an exponential rate with all the co2 we are adding to the atmosphere. its almost understandable that many people still believe global warming is not for real. over 50% of media releases concerning the subject cast some level of doubt to whether it is even happening. meanwhile, there is not one percent of the scientific community that refutes our involvement with global warming. love the media.
if reading environmental tidbits bothers you, sorry but i gotta do it now and then. seems to be one of the more important issues of our time and should be discussed.
I know, its your blog, so you just post whatever blows your hair back. I still enjoy your stories. Take care :) Love, Kelli
