What Happened To Global Warming: Doom And Gloom Goes 'Back Of The Bus'

I know I can't be the only person who has noticed lately, the more or less extreme failure for there to be any reports on Global Warming as of late. I mean what happened to all the "it'll be the end of the world as we know it!" stuff we were being force fed by the (fair and balanced) media on a daily basis? Exactly how did Global whining, just simply cease to exist? Did Mother Nature just decide one day to halt the doom and gloom forecast in its tracks? Or has enough of America essentially had enough of the crap?

Doom and gloom, as it were, seems to have taken a back seat to issues that actually affect Americans.

Could it be, just maybe, that it never really was an issue in the first place? Regardless of the hype. And that perhaps real, genuine crisis' like the current financial meltdown, actually merit our attention? And people DID in fact pay attention to their finances, and what the government was doing with it. Our Rep's saw this, in the form of the outpouring of concern to their respective offices. To bad it wasn't enough to subdue the second round of votes. About the only related mention to climate I even see anymore, is an occasional T.V. commercial of some institution offering "green" interactions. Like paperless banking or some such.

If you wanna live a green life, that's fine by me. I don't know how many times I've said, sure we should be better stewards of the planet. It only makes sense to do so. And it looks as if more and more are beginning to feel the same. As the endless stream of evidence continues to mount against global fleecing, something that the average person saw as unalterable in the first place, folks have buckled down their own actions naturally. Not under the forced compliance of the green-police.

And that's how it should have been in the first place.

Sad to say, but we may need to face a new crisis once this financial fiasco ends. Just so we can continue to NOT hear about Al Gore-acles dream again.
