NOW, on PBS every Friday evening, offered the best example I have seen that confirms the impact of global warning. Paradise Lost documents the plight of the nation of Kiribati. This island nation is most likely to become the first victim of global warming as the rising seas drown the islands. There is probably nothing that can be done to save the land.
This is not the first indication of global warning. Ships are now able to traverse the north rim of North America. There was a documentary about Glacier National Park in Montana. The governor of that state flew over the park with a reporter. The governor pointed out the areas that had been covered with glacial ice in past years but are now all barren rock. He stated that each year the ice retreats and predicted that eventually all of it will be gone.
Man’s paradise is this planet. It is changing in significant ways. I am convinced that man has contributed to the changes that are occurring now. Can we make an impact? Of course I do not know. Isn’t it worth trying?
