Here's my take on Global Warming:
It seems to me like the result of Global Warming is not necessarily warmer weather per se, but weather patterns have become more extreme. Heat waves are more common and a lot more severe. Warm ups are more prevalent in the winter. As it was, Lansing has set 2 record highs this winter (12/27- 61, 2/10- 60) which is highly unusual. Severe weather has become more prominent, potent, common, and widespread as of late. I will also buy that Global Warming is leading to more and stronger hurricanes. Despite the quietness of the 2006 and 2007 hurricane seasons, Hurricanes Ike and Katrina are prime examples, as are the 2004, 2005, and 2008 hurricane seasons. I agree that temps are warming, but extreme weather is the more prevalent result.

Just my 2 cents  :thumbsup:

When I was in Cape May, NJ on Saturday, I noticed a lot of their electric signs (school crossing signs, signs that show how fast you're going, etc) are now run by solar panels. I haven't been through any other town here that uses solar panels yet.

Hmm, I assumed it was pinned for some reason, so we can share everyone our ways to be green.


Since I am here, my way to be green: conserving paper. In school I try to fit as many notes as I can one both sides of a piece of paper, so that way I wont be wasting paper after paper.

I always leave my desktop running (since I record TWC non-stop), and there are lots of other things that use energy in my room (I don't want to bore anyone with the long list lol). I always turn the TV and lights off when I leave a room, and I do conserve paper (I also recycle it). Hope that counts :P
