Seriously... global warming scares me! We need to do something about it, & I just hope complacency doesn't set in because of this!

I think it was the "bear" who called it global weirding.
Some say that a cold day shows global weirding doesn't exist and will jump at this. They are clutching for straws because they can't face the consequences. We all do what we can and hope we can help this wonderful planet recover.
