Raining in Oregon, no way!

I think that it is really true that little things add up and can cause something big to happen, good and bad. Right now, with the weather and environment—it seems like a lot of little (or not so little) examples of the weather change is showing its nasty little head. In Estonia, the summer was so hot that the whole country was on fire, literally. Recently we have had 20-35 inches (63.5-88.9 cm) of rain in 5 days and another storm is supposed to come in on Friday!
I am usually a little skeptical when some documentary comes out that seems like it has a certain agenda—like the Michael Moore 911 documentary. I am sure that some things were true in that one, but there was a lot left unsaid so certain conclusions would be made. Roma and I finally watched Al Gore’s Inconvenient Truth documentary. It was very good, and I suggest that everyone see it and start thinking about their little contribution to this big planet. I know that for years and even decades people have been talking about the “end of the world” if we don’t take care of it…but this documentary isn’t a doomsday prediction. It is really good about giving the facts and statistics that show us how the earth has changed dramatically in the past 100 years. Explaining what has already occurred-facts without debate. Just see it yourself, and decide yourself. After about 200 years of each person contributing their personal pollution, I think it has finally added up to being something very big and very bad for our future—to be seen in our lifetime and defiantly in my kids lifetime.
