mandragoraIt is now 40%, that's 40% less thick than it was in 1970, only 33 years ago. There's just been a report on the BBC lunchtime news about it.
Fuck!
How anyone can deny global warming is a reality is beyond me (yes, George Bush, I'm looking at you). Okay, it is (just) about possible that the reason why the global temperature is increasing is nothing to do with the activities of humankind. But, isn't less pollution a good thing no matter what?
Therefore aren't energy saving policies something to consider? Instead of just sticking your fingers in your ears and going, "I can't hear you. Nah, nah, nah." Reason why I'm singling out Bush? Simple, the US accounts for 25% of all carbon dioxide emissions, which is identified as one of the main sources of global warming. The other industrialised nations are by no means off the hook, of course, the rest of us need to do a lot more than we're presently doing. But at least we're doing something. The US is doing precious little, and without the US everyone else's efforts count for that much less.
