It Must Be Global Warming

The weather of late has been nothing but extreme. Whether is temperatures or rainfall, most of us are experiencing weather that we only thought was possible somewhere tropical. Here in my neck of the woods, the weather has been warm and humid but lacking in rain. The crops and lawns are stressed to the point that if a couple of days of steady rainfall could savage the crops. The lawns will recover as cooler fall temperatures return. Or will they?

Scientists have told us that noticeable swings or extremes of weather are an indication that global warming is real. Well if you just look around, you can definitely see extremes in weather patterns. Will this get worse or will it just stay like it is. Either way the future for those effected are going to have a rough time of it.

Maybe we should begin to listen to the nay sayers that global warming is a real concern that will impact our children's future. I believe they are right, as I have felt for many years after listening to the elders who remember and shared the past and witnessed changes in our society.

I for one like weather as it was, the extremes are something I can live without.
