Mother Weart 1111

We are going to see Liz Phair this weekend and that should be fun . I Spent a rare hour or two yesterday reading an issue of Granta magazine that was dedicated to Global warming.

The average temperature of out planet in the early seventies was 59 degrees. So now when you walk around and it is 59 degrees out side you can relish in how average you are.

Well not any mare as in the last thirty years the average temperature on the planet has raised to 60 degrees.  And gee we wonder what causes so many late summer storms and the ferocity that they do indeed have.

We as American we are pigs. gluttons for everything that we do.    We consume, consume, consume with little regard for whats going to happen 30 years from now.

In 30 years my daughter will be 40. As Thoreaux observed , one cold walk outsides one house and in very little time could be in a place where nobody has been before. Those days are gone.

I have heard people argue that the earth has with stood the wrath of man for years…and this onslaught  is merely a scare tactic.

Funny how scare tactics are convienent when deemed fit.

My grandmother gave up smoking at sixty. Its never too late.
