Our Only Biosphere
What exactly can we do? I was standing in a line behind a guy when I made a sidewise mention about Al Gore’s position on Global Warming. The guy said he would not believe anything Al Gore said about anything. OK, now what? Gore is out there trying to convince the people who need convincing that we are on a collision course with the point of no return on the amount of destruction the planet will tolerate. Yet, the people who most need to get the message don’t trust the messenger.
I spent some time this past summer working as a researcher on the NOAA ship OREGON II. We were studying the Gulf of Mexico shrimp fisheries. The Hypoxia in the Gulf is growing rapidly. The acidity of the world’s seas is increasing. There are undeniable implications and the overwhelming majority of reputable scientists are in agreement that we must act soon or it will be too late to recover.
Is this a subject we can get behind? is there something we can do now without waiting for another election cycle? Is this an issue that can resonate with Texas Today?
Make some suggestions, please?!
getting behind groups such as Texas Business for Clean Air is a good start. hopefully they’ll be able to convince perry and crew to halt the coal plants from being built.
it’s not much, but its a start.
