An Inconvenient Truth: Don't Make an Emergency Out of It

It is a good thing that I am not afraid or worried about death. Death is a part of life. That is the way I see it. And that is a good thing because....WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!
Increasing temperatures etc. will probably continue on and on until it is simply TOO HOTT for life to survive on earth.
I concluded this after watching the Al Gore movie: An Inconvenient Truth.
I got up to the part with the climate graph where he stands on the chair and points out overwhelming CO2 levels and the corresponding increase in temperature...how much was it... 1,000 degrees....or it looked something like that.
I'm sure it was less than 1,000. More like 15. But, it still scared me.
I went to the website : www.climatecrisis.org
I found an article saying that the ocean water temperatures are increasing, which is bleaching coral: Threat to coral reefs- from the Khaleej Times.

Try going to the website: www.climatecrisis.org. Read the RSS Headlines @ the bottom of the page.

If you click on the TAKE ACTION tab at the right of the page, It will tell you some ways that you can stop global warming:

Here is the way to stop global warming "in a Nutshell":

REDUCE YOUR IMPACT WHILE ON THE MOVE

Almost one third of the carbon dioxide produced in the United States comes from our cars, trucks and airplanes. Here are some simple, practical things you can do to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide you produce while on the move.

Reduce the number of miles you drive by walking, biking, carpooling or taking mass transit wherever possible
Avoiding just 10 miles of driving every week would eliminate about 500 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions a year! Click here to find transit options in your area.

Start a carpool with your coworkers or classmates
Sharing a ride with someone just 2 days a week will reduce your carbon dioxide emissions by 1,590 pounds a year. eRideShare.com runs a free national service connecting commuters and travelers.

Keep your car tuned up
Regular maintenance helps improve fuel efficiency and reduces emissions. When just 1% of car owners properly maintain their cars, nearly a billion pounds of carbon dioxide are kept out of the atmosphere.

Check your tires weekly to make sure they’re properly inflated
Proper inflation can improve gas mileage by more than 3%. Since every gallon of gasoline saved keeps 20 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, every increase in fuel efficiency makes a difference!

Get a hybrid vehicle and Save Big on Gasoline (I added this one)*I made a post on hybrids.
