Two thousand and six is emerging as the year Americans finally wake up to the reality of global warming. Of course, E has been hammering away at the issue for six years or more, but now it has momentum, with the release of several new books and a Time magazine cover story ("Be Worried, Be Very Worried") April 3.
An ABC/Time/Stanford University poll accompanying the article confirmed that Americans are finally focusing on the problem. Today, 85 percent of Americans believe that global warming is occurring, versus 13 percent who don't. Sixty percent of respondents admit to worry about it either "a great deal" or "a good amount." Sixty-eight percent think the federal government should do more to combat it. (It's doing virtually nothing now.)
HERE ARE SOME OF THE EXMAPLES LISTED IN THE ARTICLE, WHICH YOU SHOULD READ HERE:
The California Coast: Migrating Species
New York: The Virus Specter
Florida: Dying Coral
Pacific Northwest: The Incredible Shrinking Glaciers
Antigua: Stronger Storms
ALL I CAN SAY IT'S ABOUT TIME THE AMERICAN PUBLIC START BECOMING MORE INFORMED AND WISE TO THE FACT THAT GLOBAL WARMING IS OCCURRING
