Many moons ago, I started reading blogs and shortly thereafter I started reading them. I became discouraged because I read many writers, far more talented than me and the ease with which they elucidated the very points I wanted to make but so much more elegantly and completely that I just gave up. Gerard of American Digest was one such writer. His facility with prose and his ability to evoke emotion was remarkable. I linked to him once with my nascent blog and he was kind enough to reach out to me and thank me for the link. I literally had zero readers. Just like now. But that was the measure of the man. He took the time to reach out to me and genuinely thank me for the link. The closest I ever had to meeting the man was meeting Morgan in person. Morgan and Gerard were friends. They had an evident mutual respect for their respective works. I never met Gerard, didn't know the man personally but having read his work I had a sense of the man. He's dying now. If

When seas are getting warmer and warmer and ice caps are melting at increased rates, that is actual proof for global warming. Why? Because the seas cover 2/3 of our planet, and if they're getting warmer, chances are the other 1/3 of the planet will be affected, too. The ice caps, the coldest regions of our planet, are showing a trend of warming and melting. Why is this more poignant than Kenya? Because the ice cap region does not see the same weather fluctuations as regions to the south because of the tilt of the earth. When that changes, something big is going on.
Educate yourself on global warming, because if you think it's simple weather, then you've not studied on it enough.
Note for the humor-impaired: I believe in global warming. I'm just bothered by the militant attitude used against dissenters by the party of open-mindedness.
Have at it.
However, while I don't like it either, a militant attitude is understandable considering the gravity of the situation.
