GLOBAL WARMING - Does It Really Exist??


I suppose there isn't a person on our planet that hasn't either voiced his or her opinion or thought
about this question and its validity over the past decade..."Does Global Warming Really Exist"?
According to Merriam Webster, the definition of global warming is..
"an increase in the earth's atmospheric and oceanic temperatures widely predicted to occur due to an increase in the greenhouse effect resulting especially from pollution".
The answer to the question,"Does Global Warming Really Exist" should be simple, Shouldn't It?

Every time I turn on the tv, radio, podcast or video, the topic of global warming and how its believed to be "a fabrication by tree huggers" by many - is being relayed to the listeners/viewers and causing false unreliable information.  Global warming doesn't exist? Step outside, watch/study a reliable weather resource or just stay in touch with the global news and it should be quite clear that our planet is thermally changing. 

If we take a look at the scientific data relating to our earths atmosphere and ocean temperatures which have been recorded since 1880, it clearly visualizes an increase in temperatures of the air and oceans, won't that answer the question, "does global warming exist"?

According to NASA and the NOAA, we have experienced most of our warming on record (don't forget we have only been keeping formal record since 1880) within the past 35 years highlighting the year 2015 having logged in with the highest temperatures on record. Additionally, statistical records depict that the past 15 of the 16 warmest years have occurred since the year 2001.  

I could ramble on and on throwing out facts an figures to support the statement that Global Warming Does Exist but I won't bore you.  If you have even read this far and are interested in seeing some changes in our ice glaciers take a look at the link below; (pics are of the exact spot in Alaska taken in 1880 and then in 2005-you wont recognize the spot).

E-Waste, what do you do with yours?

Image
  Does your basement or attic have a similar appearance?                                                               Not sure what to do with your retired electronics? Here is what I did with mine.. I recently decided that I am no longer going to be “chained to my old electronic devices” and that I was going to free myself of my E-Waste.  While this is was an extremely difficult task for me to complete, I can honestly say that it’s been refreshing and inspiring to achieve and has led me on a path of living a more minimalist lifestyle. I’ve now embarked on “cleaning out all my closets” so to speak but let’s focus on your e-waste and what to do with it. Perhaps you may not be aware that our cell phones, computers, laptops, tvs and other electronic devices can contain dangerous materials. Take a look at just a few contaminants you might be tossing into a landfill by throwing your laptop or old cell phone into the trash: Lead-
