Shedding the tree

Friday, January 6th, 2012

The Christmas tree is finally on the curb. It took us a while to get rid of it but you know how I tend to procrastinate. It took a lot of effort to get the tree into shape, but it has served its purpose and we are done with it for this year.

I feel that it is time to move on to other things. There are birthdays coming up and I have a lot to look forward to. Now that the holiday season is over, it is good to be done with it. For all those who still have their tree up, I say its time to take it down.

I’ve been reading a lot about the warming of the climate in Antarctica. Slowly but surely, the giant glaciers are breaking up and falling into the sea. Once in the sea, they begin to melt. While estimates vary, this could cause the world water level to rise. The rising sea level could be a catastrophe for shorelines throughout the world.

Many are calling for increased research to be done. The information we have on Antarctica now is sketchy. I don’t think it would hurt anything to have a little more information on the subject. I hope the government will support this effort.
