Even the slightest possbility of snow this time of year is just too depressing! But then, it does nothing but rain here and the weather man says we are down on precip for the year? Is he a loony? I could mud bog in certain spots of my yard! and the creek is way up! But then again he said twice the other morning there was a chance of rain in the morning, of both times it had been pouring rain since 4:00 am. Go outside and look, is better than what the weather man says! LOL

it kills me when I see these things in the news. I read one a while ago that said that if all of antarctica melted (which it wont) sea level would rise by 2 feet in the south pacific, 12 feet in hawii, 8 feet in japan, 6 feet in england. WTF??? probably if you could get water to spread like that it would, but last I checked, it spreads evenly. never noticed that if you dump a bucket of water into a puddle it all goes to one side, floods the ant colony and the other side stays level??

You're absolutely right, Soy...even those that do care a little can do more, but it needs to be a global effort to have any impact...and I also think that the more we send objects through to space the more damage we do to the ozone layer and that, too has an impact on global weather conditions...but then you look at the simple choices like paper or plastic at the grocery store, plastic hangs around forever, but then we need thousands of trees instead...damned if you do, damned if you don't (even though both are reusable and recycleable)...
