Your kids and global warming
Dr. P's favorite quote of the week
"Children are the living messages we send to a time we will not see."
(1931-2003, social critic, author of Amusing Ourselves to Death)
Dr. P comments
It's official: 2005 was the warmest year on record. And in Boston, where I live, January (the warmest January on record, of course) has been positively spooky with its balmy 60 degree days.
I'm real worried about the world we are leaving for our "living messages". Global warming seems pretty certain at this point and there comes a point where not addressing it becomes a criminal offence.
Got kids? Parents can and should be a powerful force in advocating that we start now to fix this potentially catastrophic problem, so our kids don't come to curse us when we are gone for our selfish lack of foresight and care for the planet.
