An Inconvenient Truth...

While the world was getting its scientific knowledge of "climate change" or "global warming" from politicians and biased media, we have continued to do irrepairable damage to our planet. And now...Tomorrow the United Nations-backed Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will release a major report with grim predictions for the coming decades, according to journalists who have seen draft versions of the paper.

Which brings me back to Al Gore's movie. Criticize all you want, but I think he did an excellent job of presenting the facts and offering simple ways that we can all make a difference. Changing to energy efficient light bulbs or buying a car that gets better gas mileage are small changes that can make a huge impact. Sorry to go all hippie on you, but I don't understand how protecting our planet is really a political/partisan/polarized issue.
Side note: Since climate change is a huge threat to our country and the world, could we get some Homeland Security funding for a hybrid car?
