Times are getting scary

The Future is drying up

California is Burning

Southeast in the middle of worst drought on record

Inch by inch the Great Lakes shrink

At the Poles, Melting occurs at Alarming rate

That is a glimpse of the headlines for the past weekend. Al Gore and the IPCC won the Nobel Peace Prize for their work on Global Warming because of the threat that climate change means for stability. 250,000 evacuations in Southern California. Five million Americans with a drinking water supplies numbering the in the months. Water supplies dwindling in the West and the Great Lakes are getting lower as well. The Arctic may have open water soon rather than later.

Takes these events separately and they mean trouble, take them together and the United States must deal with comprehensive water shortages and water problems. Where is the leadership on these issues? Who is going to make the case for change and in the next few years?

Someone needs to step up and take action. Who is going to save us before we condemn future generations to Hell on Earth?
