YES, GLOBAL WARMING EXISTS AND YES, THE CONSEQUENCES WILL BE SERIOUS!

Joseph Raglione
Gentle readers of this American Chronicle, it seems that my friends at BrasscheckTV are not convinced global warming will have serious consequences. I on the other hand, have reasons to believe that if our unsalted water dissapears due to global warming, we are all in serious Doo Doo!

Dear Brasscheck TV:

I've been on the Internet long enough to see first hand the effects of global warming.

There has been horrific fires in Australia, in Greece, in Western Canada and in the United States. There has been years of drought in the United States and except for irrigated farms, dust bowl conditions prevailed in the Mid-West. There have been worse droughts in Africa!

With so many abnormal weather patterns occurring around the globe, anybody studying the planet on a regular basis could not help but see how our weather patterns have changed. When NASA satelites began showing exactly and precisely how the Arctic was melting and how more than fifty percent of the mass of the Arctic Ice had melted during the last decade, I began writing full time on how we humans had to do something to slow the global warming process.

And the truth is, as much as I respect Al Gore and his ability to write books, I have not studied his books. I am a social scientist and a journalist and I, along with dozens of world scientists, arrived independantly at the same conclusions. There will be serious

consequences if we Human Beings do not make concentrated efforts to slow global warming!

When he was a U.S. Senator, Al Gore took a Submarine ride under the Arctic to see for himself how the Arctic was shrinking. What he saw motivated him to write a book.


The evidence of global warming today is over-whelming and the consequences of a warming climate is often drought. With drought vegetation dies. If vegetation dies, we die. It is basic common sense! Farmers will not be able to irrigate fast enough to save the vast majority of farms. The water to irrigate will not be there as underground reservoirs and rivers around the world, which depend on Glacier and Snow melt, dry up and do not fill up fast enough to supply the needed water. I've seen the reports from many

different sources and if you do some basic research, you will arrive at the same conclusions. You do not have to be a top scientist to understand what is happening. Common sense should be enough.

If you simply study what is happening in Africa, you will see the deforestation and the consequences of deforestation. Dead Trees create Co2 and Co2 creates the Green-House Gas now creating global warming. Depleted Ozone above the Arctic Ice also is helping to create global warming. Without a protective Ozone layer, the Sun directly radiates the Ice and the melting Ice releases Methane. The same thing is happening to our Oceans. As Ocean Waters warm, Methane is released and Methane also creates global warming.

Thank you for reading and please study the facts and only the facts. Opinions that are not based on facts can mislead us at a time we need to create important changes to our economic structures.

About Joseph Raglione
Hi! I am the executive director of the World Humanitarian Peace and Ecology Movement. I began as an environmental activist in 1969 and basically, never stopped! I Graduated College in Social Science and registered as a non-profit corporation in 1988 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I am one of a very few non-profit and generic freedom loving journalists left on Earth, and I continue today to study and to understand the problems connected with human activity on this Planet. My affiliates include: GreenPeace, the Nature Conservancy, the Bio-diversity organization, the Sierra Club, the David Suzuky foundation, the WWF, Amnesty International, World Vision, the IUF organization; as well as the wonderful and independant N.A.S.A. scientists studying our Planet's weather systems. Of course NASA also studies the mysteries of the Eternal Universe with satelite generated images and, over the years, have generously allowed me and thousands of our world scientists to study over their shoulder's via the Internet.
In spite of some past U.S. government repression, NASA continues to provide solid evidence of global warming.
NASA has provided me with pictorial evidence of Rainforest deforestation within: Jakarta, Peru, Africa, Brazil and even in Western Canada!
The motivation for such destruction continues to be (often illegally) for: lumber, for bio-fuels, and for Cattle ranching. Today, the perceived future profits for Palm Oil and for Bio-Fuels are prime motivators for environmental destruction. Small crop farming also contributes but that may be changing as farmers learn to protect the Rain-Forest.
With NASA imaging, there is proof that large city heat traps are helping global warming, and with (infrared images)there is proof that several hundred million gas burning vehicles (including ship and airplanes) presently create a hugh quantity of pollution tracks across both Oceans and Sky.
With oil, gas, Coal and Bio-Fuel heated buildings around the world creating C02 emissions, and with Methane release from all animal species...giant Ozone holes have been created and continue to exist above the North and South Poles. Ozone holes allow the Sun to radiate the Ice Caps and to accelerate the Ice melt, which releases more Methane into the atmosphere, which continues to thin out the Ozone. A vicious circle created by human need and also, unhappily, by human greed!
I have been asked to write to the Prime Minister of Japan to ask him to stop the murderous assault on endangered Whales. Every year, thousands of Whales are killed in the Antarctic with GreenPeace volunteers placing themselves between the Whales and the grenade tipped harpoons, and peope like myself, (I did not forget this is my "Bio," putting my old neck on the line attempting to change the situation by writing thousands if not millions of words!
Are words dangerous?
Over three hundred journalists were killed within the last ten years. You tell me if words are dangerous!
As I write these words, the desperate and starving in Darfur are waiting for rescue. I motivated a few kind hearted California Actors to visit the region and to report back. They did! They then created the Darfur coalition and they continue to fight to save the innocent victims trapped in tents in the desert of the Sudan. Darfuri's were attacked and moved from their homes because somebody believes there is Oil under the Sudan desert.
As I write this, a few sick and desperate people in Iraq are wrapping bombs around themselves in order to die in the name of God, and the list of humanitarian disasters continues. I also contribute information to the Reuter's news service. It is time for a change. Please help make it happen!
