David Letterman Gets It!
-- Pete -- 09/16/2008
“David Letterman get’s it”. That’s what a friend wrote referring to an article that came out recently where Letterman was railing against the lack of leadership in the fight against global warming. As part of his rant Letterman shouted, “we’re dead meat” which is both funny and scary at the same time.
On the one hand I am glad that this issue is reaching into popular culture that Letterman is a part of, in spite of what he wants you to believe. On the other hand it is scary because if somebody of Letterman’s stature is scared and ranting then things are getting serious.
I am choosing to focus on the positive. There are worse things than having a problem to work on. We could have this problem and not know it or how to deal with it. We do know how to deal with it; we are really struggling with how to face it. Letterman and many others who have the ear of Americans will need to speak up until we are all forced to face it. When enough of us see the problem we will all see the opportunity.
When I think of my kids and the world they will live in I never thought David Letterman would factor into my thought process but whatever it takes to get this message out is fine with me.

how come the global temp has been dropping for the past 12 years if we are cooking?
Sorry Russ, you’re mistaken. In the last 10 years, we’ve recorded 10 of the warmest on record. It’s measured as global average and unless you think NASA is a fringe group, its real.
