Global Warming

WARNING: Before anyone goes crazy over my love for global warming just understand that this does not mean I don't think we shouldn't take care of the earth that we have been given to live in...BUT...

If the reason that the winter here in Utah has been the most mild I have seen, since moving here in 2002, is global warming then I say, "Cheers to Global Warming!"

While looking for the picture above I ran into some interesting/funny things about how global warming is beneficial for us. Even Forbes weighs in on the issue:

"For example, cold winter storms kill a lot of people. More people die from blizzards and cold spells than from heat waves. Increased death rates usually persist for weeks after the unusually cold temperatures have passed, which suggests that the cold is killing people who would otherwise live into another season at least...So modest climatic improvement would be to have fewer and less severe big winter storms. Amazingly, that's exactly what we should get if global warming theory turns out to be true."

Again I need to reiterate that this does not mean that we should not take better care of the earth, but the truth is that humans exist and are going to keep functioning in life and placing their carbon footprint all over the earth...it is unavoidable! And Al Gore is CRAZY!
If Global Warming is going to end the world someday let's live life to the fullest (while, I will add again so their is no confusion, taking care of the earth the best we can, which for some is more than others)and look at the positive like this incredibly warm winter and the other points made by this Forbes writer.
