LOVELAND, MAGAZINE - This is utterly the most important story Loveland Magazine has, or possibly ever will report.
We have all read a book, or an essay, or a documentary and said to ourselves, “Everyone should be forced to watch this.” Of course, living in the United States, you can't be forced to watch or read something
you do not want to, or not read or watch something you do. However, if your young children or grandchildren had the intellectual capacity to understand, and if they could, they would hold their breath until you watched the BBC documentary Global Dimming.
It is about the decline of Pan Evaporation and the increase of global dimming.
Is global dimming poised to strike again?
Do our children face a biblical famine; the closest thing to hell we have ever faced?
Are we arsonists that have struck the match - and watching as the planet burns?
Have you witnessed that it is almost January and low growing plants in the Loveland area are still green and putting on new growth? Have you noticed that lack of migrating birds so far this winter? When was the last time you saw a frog? Have you noticed the radiating streams of clouds emanating from the horizon? Do you need more proof than what your own eyes are telling you?
“We are all seeing rather less of the Sun. Scientists looking at five decades of sunlight measurements have reached the disturbing conclusion that the amount of solar energy reaching the Earth's surface has been gradually falling. Paradoxically, the decline in sunlight may mean that global warming is a far greater threat to society than previously thought.” - producer David Sington
If your children are old enough, sit down with them and watch this documentary. If they are too young, watch it FOR them.
