Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lucky Easter celebrating person. D;

myself, I'm kinda just.. here.. I just got over my first round of sleepyness. *still uses Kahara as a pillow* <3

crying It's snowing!!! It's NOT supposed to snow in APRIL!! *wants to go back to sleep and then wake up and have no snow on the ground *

yeah.. the radio here earlier said that this area had a storm warning, that would continue throughout the day, and that we should expect to get about 15 CM of snow. gonk

Though living in the area i do for so long, this sort of weather should be expected.

Some people might automatically go and say "Global Warming" and blame it on that, just because some scientists and people with more authority than most say global warming is such a "terrible" thing and we have to stop it from happening, and that we should change our lifestyles, whilst they who say we should do not..

and really all things considered, overall Global Warming may not be such a bad thing. *would go into further detail but doesn't want to become annoying..and what not*

I'd rather it become warmer as well. maybe then my family wouldn't question the way i dress throughout the winter....

There are alot of people who don't want the world to get warmer because they think it's going to effect the ENTIRE world in a negative way. But it quite possibly will not.

yeah Coastal areas will be in trouble when and if Ocean levels rise.

-- and i say if because Ice takes up more space than water does, which people somehow seem to forget, and so if you take away the ice there will be more room for water. So the ocean levels might not actually rise as much as people think they're going to.

But even if the ocean Levels rise it's not entirely bad, yes the areas that were originally coastal won't exist anymore, but cities closer inland would become port cities, one would hope that people would have evacuated coastal areas prior to the water levels comeing to a dangerous height.

Also If the climate increases, both Greenland and Iceland would be able to plant crops for the first time. Which would increase the economy there as well as throughout the world.

The province i live in, surprisingly used to have a tropical climate, or so archeaology says. So if the temperature increased, that could happen again.

Also up in the North Pole, and North west territories, Nunavut, and Yukon, and most likely Alaska, traces of Forest under all the ice have been found, and so if it warms up the forests could come back.

So I don't understand why people think it will only have a negative effect on the world.

But that's not to say that we shouldn't take reasonable precautions just in case with all the pollution in the world it won't make it worse, and to the point of a climate that we wouldn't be able to survive in. But that is all on assumptions, since we haven't been studying weather patterns long enough to know if this is just a naturally occuring thing.

*just finished reading the book The Notebook, It made me cry! It's sooo sad.. but the movie made me cry more than the book did.. i think the movie explained things alot better*

Hmm yeah, there's also that people need to worry about. Even though I think the oil industry or some other person already has someone developing or has some with an already developed alternative energy source, and they're just keeping quiet about it so that the oil companies can stay in business and all of that complicated stuff that makes my head hurt..

If there is anyone around, I just posted the first chapter to a story i started writing earlier in the week if you wouldn't mind reading it... and giving me comments. Here's a link to it.. to make it easier... http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?t=8604227
