Global Warming, GW, has become the new bogeyman to scare children and adults alike. I fell prey to that call. I still believe in aspects of it but not everything, let me explain.

GW is a very complex monster and I don’t pretend to known the answers but I have thoughts I’d to share. Some things may be wrong but my character is got fast and sort it out in the end.

GW, as it is known, are the gases that are emitted into the atmosphere and cause heat to be trapped because sunlight cannot escape and thus trapped bouncing off the ground once again. Futurama didn’t explain it right, the sunbeam isn’t a cute guy/gal but a mean malicious thug who we want to go, but not so fast. The suns energy is trapped but it not mankind’s fault but it is, let me explain.

Enterprise has learned the secrets of oil and coal and … We pump huge amount of CO into the air. Nature doesn’t know what to do with CO since it kills everything it touches. “My Bad” and when I say “My Bad” I really mean “Our Bad” but I thought that sounded cooler or hotter or warmer or … It’s something that started over a 100 years ago. OK, we got that out of the way, CO is malo, or dame, or any other way I don’t know but it’s BAD.

We are animals and animals have to take responsibility, we are CO₂ emitters. That too is a Greenhouse Gas and when I say “Greenhouse Gas” I mean it’s a gas in the air that traps sunlight and thus heat. Where was I? O yeah, CO₂, that’s a natural gas an can be used by nature. In fact it’s necessary for plants. We’ll get to that but first I’d like to explain what Mankind does bad, they make room for animals by cutting down plants and trees. Now Next.

CO₂ is a natural gas but a Greenhouse Gas. Plants love the stuff, it makes me dizzy but most things do. The Plants break down the CO₂ and use the Carbon, that’s the C, and emit the Oxygen. that’s the O. This is the stuff I love and you should too (if you want to live).

To break it down, the players in this tale in order badness.

Mankind - because they’re animals which are CO and CO₂ emitters
Animals - because they’re CO₂ emitters
Plants - the only good guys in this tale

This will be my last post on GW as I’m switching this blog to talk about other important things, namely Me and my life in Tokyo, Japan.

I know some people who don’t agree with global warming but I think the evidence is getting too strong for any reasonable human being to disagree with it any longer but I never under estimate the blinder people put on their thinking.

In January, NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center reported that 2006 was the warmest year on record over the 48 contiguous states with an average temperature 2.1 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than normal and 0.07 degree warmer than 1998, the previous warmest year on record….At the time the agency said it was not clear how much of the warming was a result of greenhouse-gas induced climate change and how much resulted from the El Nino warming of the tropical Pacific Ocean that was under way.”We wanted to find out whether it was pure coincidence that the two warmest years on record both coincided with El Nino events,” Martin Hoerling of NOAA’s Earth System Research Laboratory in Boulder, Colo., said in a statement.
