I must apologize for not adding anything new to my site in such a long time. I get so many emails and I just dont read them anymore. I was glad to see Obama get into office and felt that there's not much more that I can do. I just cant keep up the energy it takes to be an activist.

Not that I dont care. But I do see that we probably are doing too little too late. Granted, we didnt know what were doing to the planet. Now the consequences will have to be dealt with as time goes by.

Watching the Arctic ice dissappear at a rate faster than scientists predicted is very alarming. That will speed up the warming of the planet, melting the permafrost which will put out lots of methane, which will speed up warming. It just is too unreal.

I am a bit disappointed with Obama. I think the first thing he could jump on is green energy jobs in a big way. Good for the economy, good for the world. We could sell our technology to other countries which would help them bypass oil and coal.

But as we know, America is run by corporations and Congress cant agree on anything. So, watch is all we can do. At least for me. Even if everyone turned to electric cars today and power plants didnt spew forth their toxins, and cows quit belching, and the rain forest stopped being burned, we would still have repercussions for a long time.

Am I negative?? Or realistic?? There are still so many people that dont even buy it. They say all those scientists are wrong. Well, I think we've seen enough record breaking weather the past few years to make you wonder.

Anyway, that's why Ive stopped reading about it. But I dont want to delete myspace here, cuz I put so much work into it. Even a teacher emailed me and said she is using it as a reference for her students.

There are things that can be done, like write your congressman, vote for green candidates, sign petitions, change some of your ways,  but like I say, it wont make the problem go away. There's a long delay between awareness and action.

I guess I see it as the progression of the human experiment. It's out of my hands.
