Global Warming

Or None Like it Hot!!!
Global Warming may just be an excuse to argue about God in America, and some of you in the UK are probably secretly hoping it will happen
but in Australia it's actually really important. Global warming is going to raise the temperature and sea level whilst lowering rainfall.
Australia is already hot enough, we built all our capital cities on the coast and we barely get rainfall as it is.
Although, there are people in worse situations. The Glaciers of Greenland have almost reached the point of no return as far as melting is concerned, Holland will soon lose the majority of its territory to the ocean, and Venice, oh you better believe you're fucked.
And it seems that large scale solutions to the problem are a long way off. The big Businesses care nothing for the environment, only profits. So it's up to us as consumers to change things.
First thing I want to say - if you live in the City, you have no damn excuse for driving a 4wd, for that price you could get a nice hybrid (petrol electric) car that uses a quarter the petrol. Or if you're cheap just buy a small car.
Secondly, don't drive everywhere. Don't be lazy, walk to the local shops, or buy a bike and ride there.
What else is there?? It'd be impossible to cover everything, because we simply need to cut down on our energy use in all areas, don't leave the air conditioner or heater running unless you really need to, install a solar panel on top of your house, spend that little bit extra to get a fridge that uses less energy, anything you can.
Oh, and go see 'An Inconvenient truth' by Al Gore
