Global Warming Ad
A new TV campaign by the Advertising Council and an environmental group uses stark imagery of a child about to be run over by a train to drive home its point on global warming.

Re: Global Warming Ad
Hi Chuck:
___Thanks for the link.
___I still here the back and forth on Global Warming but tend to believe we have permanently and irreversibly altered our planets eco system due to our consumption of carbon based fuels and the resultant effluent. I think back just 30 years ago skiing and snowmobiling in the Stevens Point/Wausau Wi. area where my grand parents lived. We would visit about every 3 to 4 weeks and there was always plenty of snow to enjoy the outdoor winter season. Today, you couldn’t buy snow that far south. Even my significant snow plowing days have decreased from a max of 11 per season 9 years ago to just 2 in the just recent 05-06 winter season. Although my 30 year and 10 year temperature/snowfall pattern recollection do not mean much statistically, something is up and it scares the hell out of me. A commercial like the one you linked should wake many of us whether we wanted to or not … 
___Good Luck
___Wayne

I've been having the same feeling. It scares the hell out of me too.

Re: Global Warming Ad
My 93-year old grandmom said that the Dallas area is as warm in the winter as Houston was 60 years ago during World War II, 200 miles farther south and on the coast.

It's The Cover Story of Time Zine
Keep in mind I'm not a member of GreenPeace or remotely agree with the politics of the Green Party. Just reading articles over the last couple of years plus observing the local climate changes leads me to believe the climate is warming up. I'm aware that there was a mini ice age from about 1300-1800, but it looks like this period of warming is pardon the pun, "fueled" in part by humans.

Newsweek on The Economic Toll of Global Warming
Good interview in Newsweek zine.
Points out that Katrina was a little worse than the average bad hurricane, but cost more than 9/11 (not counting the war, etc....) If hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts, floods, etc. are just a little worse, it could exceed anything planned and do far more damage....

Re: Global Warming Ad
^^ maybe because the scientists themselfs drive fat hungry SUV's? I haven't read any of the articles yet (links are kind of slow) but I can say weather has been more wacked than it has ever been. (winter feels longer, and spring is barely noticeable, summer too hot?)
