One of the things that has really bugged me about the warm temps we had in December, was how people seemed to think THAT's what global warming is. It's true that the higher than average warming trends are due to global warming-- I looked it up-- but it seemed like people were only finally starting to pay attention to the issue now that it was flukey-warm outside. Meanwhile polar bears have been feeling it for years.
So now of course, the temperature is below average for our region and all anybody can talk about is the cold. Does this mean we'll lose their attention on global warming?
Some great articles and photos in the February Voice are focused on the issue of global warming. Check out Allison's Gillespie's Winter of My Discontent. Of course you can guess what Abby Bardi's sin of the month is...
And I hope you like the cover of the SS Voice as much as I do-- that photo was taken at the CCAN event mentioned earlier in this blog-- unfortunately for the volunteer/activists, the weather had just started to turn cold-- and the water was reportedly frigid.
