Well, welcome to the new year, everyone.  Should be an interesting one.  So, how is everyone here on LJ, its been too long.
Delia and I are doing great, still looking for an apartment, looks to be Delia, Biron, Cali, and myself.  Gonna be a mess sharing a place together.  Well, I thought I'd get the warning out to the LJ community.  This planet is gonna start getting a lot more dangerous as far a nature is concerned.  Go see "The Day After Tommorow"  Some links and quotes for you all.  Remember, that movie is fiction, but theres a lot of fact behind it.

Should we worry about global warming?
Claussen: Global temperatures have increased by 1degree Fahrenheit over the past 100 years. Although this may seem like a small change, it is enough to harm important ecosystems, change rainfall patterns and raise the sea level. Climate models project additional warming of about 2-10 F over the next 100 years. The overwhelming consensus of scientists who study the atmosphere is that this warming is caused primarily by the build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, mostly from the burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil.

If “The Day After Tomorrow” is fiction, what is the truth about global warming?
Claussen: The truth is that global warming is happening and that it is already too late to avoid some of the effects. Even under the most optimistic circumstances, atmospheric scientists expect global climate change to result in increased flooding and droughts, more severe storms, and a loss of plant and animal species. These events will occur, even if climate change is gradual.
