What is worse is that most of the public actually feels no change, certainly not

as much as the doom and gloom reports are screaming about. The biggest

affect on most of us is a 50 % reduction in the Coral Reefs of the Cayman

Islands that we like to snorkel.

Most people don't understand that the climate has momentum, and because of

its gigantic mass (atmosphere and oceans) it will continue in the current direction

for many many decades even if we could stop emitting CO2 entirely right now.

The fact that most people feel no effects at this time makes it very easy for the

skeptics, who are being funded by the energy giants, to place doubt in everyone's

mind about the seriousness of global warming.

This is truly a disasterous situation for the future. The scientists are finding things

happening in the past 2 to 3 years that they didn't expect to happen for decades.

We should all be very concerned and demanding change to green energy, because

the climate will eventually reach a point when there will nothing we can do to stop

changes that will get very drastic........and it will be happening sooner than anyone

thought possible.
