Correlations

Currently, I'm taking 5 classes. This one, an African-American Studies Class, and my 3 weather classes: mesoscale, radar/satellite, and capstone. This hyperlinking post is not that easy for me, as that's quite a spread on class material. But, I'll try.

Global Warming

We all know the global warming debate. Is it man made? Is it real? I swear, half of my capstone class is dedicated to it, while a smattering appears in the other two classes. It's a real question mark and a contentious issue between climatologists and meteorologist.

I don't know about the rest of my classes. My African-American class deals with racism, which doesn't really show up in any of my other classes. This class is more a of a networking class. My weather classes have the most corssover appeal.

We get words like radar, and thunderstorms, and lots of cool stuff.

What are your views on global warming? It seems that the increase in temperature and strange weather occurrences are too much to ignore. I also took and AOS class though, and watched some National Geographic specials (I'm lame, I know). It seems that the constant weather we've been having is the actual rarity, and that weather fluctuations are normal here on Earth. It's tough to make a decision I think. Is our globe warming?

To be honest, I don't even see where the hell the debate is. Kilimanjaro's snows are gone, ice caps are breaking apart -- clearly something is wrong.

Moreover, why the heck is this EVEN a partisan issue? We have one Earth, last time I checked. It blows my mind that individuals can be so selfish that they can allow themselves to reduce global warming to a debatable issue, all for personal gain.

OK, this is not a "p.c." post.
