No more winters?

Wow... If anybody still doesn't believe in global warming, well, I hope you'll be convinced in 2007. It's January 3rd, 2007, and already, snow has entirely melted and we may have temperatures of around 16 degrees centigrade next Saturday (I just can't believe it when I see the weather forecasters happy when talking about it!!! Come on, wake up!) There are even golf courses open here in Quebec, that never happened before! Crazy storms happen more often, earth is breaking out...

Will winters disappear? I can't understand why some people are pleased with the idea. No more winters in Quebec, no more cold, isn't it a worrying situation for the future of mankind? Scientists are already foreseeing terrible things for the next 50 years. No more ice in the North Pole (where will Santa Claus live? ;)), dead of amazonian forest and the horrible consequences that would lead to in the entire world, and even more... Something to scare young families :|.

Some people say that we can't do anything, or that it's the fault of enterprises and that only those can diminish their production of greenhouse gas. I don't believe this. I rather believe that we can all together do many little things that will help to add some years before the end of mankind and other forms of life. After all, the end of mankind may certainly help the earth to equilibrate itself naturally, but is this the only solution?

For those who would like to take action, here are some links that will lead you to more information and lists of environmental actions. I recommend that everybody take those actions as your resolutions of the new year! There is so much we can do!!

(Note : most of the links are in French. If you have good English links to share, you can simply add them as a comment to this blog!)
