And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt. - Sylvia Plath

Evidence of Global Warming
The world has changed...
The BBC has run a great article detailing how global warming has already started to change the world. Read it here.
The facts about how a climate change as small as 1-1.5 degrees will have major impacts on the world reminds me of that scene from Jesus Camp where that homeschooling mom was ridiculing and teaching her boys the utter falsehood of global warming because a couple of degrees is nothing. But as one could tell from the rest of the lesson, they really didn't care much for science or facts.
What I don't get is how people can be so sold to a political party that denies global warming for political reasons that they ignore the threat that people may die because they have no water.

Julie: Like you, I simply do not understand how a Jesus follower can sell out to any political party. This is an issue of justice and compassion. People are being hurt now and will be even more so in the future as a result of global climate change.
Good post, thanks.
