You know, I can't respond to global warming naysayers with out a sore spot in my heart. Speaking as a biologist and a chemist, there is a lot of science out there documenting the effects of increased human emissions.

The ozone layer is a protective covering that blocks the sun's UV rays and therefore the warming of the Earth. Think of this those CFC's we are producing (don't tell me we have stopped because we haven't and besides they stick around for a long time) go into the atmosphere and they start a chain reaction that for every CFC molecule destroys on average 20 billion molecules of ozone.

You may be saying that there is a lot of ozone out there. Well there is less and less and it is beginning to show in frightening ways. We have been able to see a hole in the ozone since 1985, ever since I was born. But we are not just seeing global warming we are feelin global warming. For the one degree change we have felt, the North and South Poles have increased by 8 degrees.

As a result, the Arctic ice is melting, tropical species are moving northwards, forests are migrating, and we are just sitting here.

The government isn't just saying this to make money out of us. The government is being pushed around by firms trying to make money. As a result they have actively denied and suppressed information on global warming.

I know I may just be a crazy kid. I don't do everything I can to prevent Global Warming. But I recognize that I can't do everything. I won't push or force people into the topic and make them feel like bad people for not agreeing. But I am doing my part to learn and to become engaged. Besides who is it hurting if I recycle more, turn off the lights, and ride my bike more?
