Are humans causing global warming? Most likely.

We have seen quite a number of extreme weather events in recent weeks/months/years. Could they be due to natural cycles of the earth? Possibly, but the strong storms are getting stronger. Floods are getting more frequent and destructive. The polar ice is melting. Glaciers are melting. The oceans are acidifying. (Oh, Lord, what are we doing to the Gulf of Mexico?)

There are many ways we can reduce the amount of pollution we pump into the atmosphere. It's only common sense that to restrict it and reduce it is good stewardship of the earth, even if you don't believe that humans are causing climate change.

There are so many things we can do: increase our use of alternative energies like wind and solar, geothermal and hydroelectric. We can buy lower-emission vehicles. Walk more. Ride a bike. Plant trees. Replace inefficient appliances with more-efficient ones.

And keep up with 350.org. Science can help us solve this problem. And there's one thing I know for sure. God won't.
