Global Warming

Today began the international conference in Copenhagen on climate change. There will be debates on Global warming, carbon emissions and who needs to make the biggest sacrifices to keep the world stable.

Saturday Baltimore had its first winter snow of more than three inches. days like that make me question global warming as well.

Then I remembered that a friend of ours sent us pictures of Nova Olinda do Norte, Amazonas, the town where I met my wife, in September when the floods hit. This was the highest the river has gotten into the town in more than twenty years, making many fear that the snows from the Andes are coming down the Rio Madeira in bigger volume than in the past.

When you look at the pictures and see the destruction remember that this could be a scene of many places if Global Warming continues.
