Is it getting hot in here?

Global warming. Well, it looks like Bush is on the bandwagon, finally. In a recent report, Washington, D.C. is finally admitting that it may be an actual phenomenon they need to pay attention to. Bush said in his State of the Union address that it is a fact and proposed a reduction in gasoline consumption by 20% over the next 10 years. But is it a little too late? Al Gore says in "An Inconvenient Truth" that we need to do more to stave off global warming or it will be doomsday for us here on Earth. What do you think?

I think:
If you haven't seen the movie yet, go see it--then make up your own mind. I believe that we human have contributed to the current dubious state of the environment however, I also believe that the planet has its own cycles of which we have no control over. There is an interesting article on the NASA web site about the global warming debate that is good reading. We can and should be doing our part to be more conscious about what we are doing to the planet. Just like in the case of the ozone layer. But I do not think that doomsday is imminent.
