Hmmm... so many different views as far as global warming goes. Honestly, global warming has never really been a big issue with me. I say, maybe it is, maybe it isn't.
I am totally for cleaning up the environment, though. I do know there is a lot more litter everywhere and I'm no big fan of smog or chemicals in my drinking water. Although I'm not out there picketing or hugging trees, I do love this Earth and hate to see it trashed. I live near New Braunfels, TX where there is(was) a beautiful clean river (Guadalupe). Sadly, it is getting trashier and trashier every year because of drunk teenagers and careless people who throw their empty beer bottles & used condoms all over the place. Same thing is happening with the Frio River, another beautiful river that seems to be going downhill.
And who doesn't want their car to produce less smog? I mean, I for one don't like walking on the sidewalk only to choke every time someone drives by. It really does come down to politics though. The technology is out there and yet they make it so unavailable. I'd like to buy a Hybrid car but why do they have to cost an arm and a leg?! Daryl Hannah, who is a major environmentalist, has a car that runs on left over grease from fast food restaurants. She said her exhaust smells like donuts. Now that's something I wouldn't mind smelling while I'm taking a walk. So like I said, if the technology is there, why isn't it being utilized properly. I mean, hell, there's plenty of fast food grease to go around!!
So, I guess I'm not so annoyed with people who are so lovingly referred to as 'tree huggers', but more so with the politicians who promote it so much and yet do nothing to make changes. I am a firm believer in practicing what you preach so when I read about stuff like Al Gore's friggin monthly electricity bill, while he's out there shaking his finger at America, I just wish I could give him and every other stupid liberal politician a swift kick in the ***.
But just to be equal, Republican politicians sometimes bother me too because they act like they don't care at all about the environment. They're not out there tisking America, they're completely ignoring the issues. Which I do think taking care of our environment is an issue, not so much global warming.
