There are many naysayers in the U.S.(which , apparently, includes most meteorologists!!) who think that global warming does not exist!! I think, in the wake of hurricane Katrina, the time to rethink Global Warming and the threat it poses to this planet... IS NOW!! The best time for such action is when devastation hits close to home! I have heard many people say "What can I do?" and "I can't make a difference!" ... PUH -LEASE. The answer is in the simplest of life's luxuries here in the States.
#1 - Sport Utility Vehicles emit 43% more global warming pollutants than the average automobile. That is 28 pounds per gallon!! If manufacturers were to increase their fleets' average gas mileage by 3 mi. per gallon, the U.S. could save a million barrels of oil a day!
#2 - Fluorescent light bulbs not only burn 10,000 hours longer than regular lightbulbs, they keep more than half a TON of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere during their lifetime. Put a fluorescent light in your kitchen, garage, and/or basement....the littlest of things makes a HUGE difference.
#3 - Use public transportation, rally for bike lanes on roads (get your employer to install bike racks and showers at work), and promote carpooling. Many smaller cities in the U.S. have poor public transportation, but if you speak up and get others to speak up with you, change is possible.
#4 - Know your greenhouse gases. These include water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone. While they are all naturally occurring, HUMAN ACTIVITY has made it WORSE!!! HUMAN INTERVENTION is needed to decrease the amount of these gases being released into the atmosphere, thus, creating a "greenhouse effect".
#5 - Know your bad carbons and what you can do to decrease their emissions!!
b. Perfluorocarbons (PFCs - fluorochlorohydrocarbons - they break down the molecules in the Earth's atmosphere) - Mainly emitted during aluminum smelting...which is why recycling is a GREAT idea!!!
c. Sulfur Hexafluoride - An insulator for high voltage electrical conductors and displaces oxygen. This is why solar and wind energy is a GREAT idea!!
Global Warming is not a fairy tale. If every one of us took ONE step to slow down the process, it would make a HUGE difference!!!

"The use of traveling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are."
-Samuel Johnson
Traveling in the company of those we love is home in motion."

Mileage craziness is a serious condition that exists in many forms. It can hit unsuspecting travelers while driving cars, motorcycles, riding in planes, crossing the country on bicycles or on foot. The symptoms may lead to obsessively placing more importance on how many miles are traveled than on the real reason for traveling."
