As a meteorologist, I come across so much information, sometimes on a daily basis, about global warming. Actually, I see it everyday during ABC's Good Morning America. Meteorologist Sam Champion has been sent out on many assignments around the globe to show us the effects of global warming. At the same time, Sam presents new ways you can "green up" your life with energy efficient ideas.

This constant barrage of information convinced me to buy the global warming edition of National Geographic. If you're unfamiliar with the global warming issue, I suggest buying this issue and reading up. Articles in this issue range from polar ice disappearing and glaciers melting to growing droughts across the globe to how you and I create that carbon footprint. The overriding idea of each article is to say we are, in some small part, affecting how the environment changes. The magazine also makes a strong case that carbon dioxide and methane levels change are directly related to changing temperatures (i.e. if carbon dioxide levels rise, so do temperatures).

No matter what your opinion may be on the global warming issue, i highly suggest you pick up this magazine. It will open your eyes to the global impact of a warming earth.

Post you later!
