This has got to be one of the warmest winters of the last few decades in our continent. I have been spending almost as much as I usually do on heating however and I have had less days of good riding in my outdoor arena, due to the amount of rain we had in December and January.
It is a good thing it has been warm because if it were cold we would all go broke paying for fuel to heat our homes with the spike in fuel costs these days.
The globe is warming, however it is scheduled to warm up over many thousands and millions of years, despite the theories that abound in the environmentalist’s camp that man has caused this because of increased use of fossil fuels. Here is a three part debate you can read about at this web site: (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1893089&sourceCode=gaw)
The real story has to do with forces much greater than mankind.
In many thousands of years this planet will heat up and burn out. It actually will be annihilated and eventually recycled as well. For more information on what global warming really is and who is responsible for it, read the Bhagavad-Gita, As It Is, by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. (http://www.prabhupada.com) and also a good read is the Sri Isopanisada by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
No matter how warm it gets, keep in mind that we are not these bodies. We are spirit soul and therefore we cannot be burned by fire.
