The Age of Warming
about climate change on CBS right now. Looks pretty good so far.

7. What's impressive
is that they're reporting facts and expert opinion on human cause and impact.
Frankly, I'm a bit surprised.

8. I am shocked at the comment that Bushco is one of the greatest
supporters of the SCIENCE.

Shit, you'd think they would back up that support with action--of course, that might fuck with the post Presidential profit margin.

I swear, they all have the 'Fuck it, I'll be dead' attitude.

Hell, I'll be dead too, but not giving a shit for the future generations is just ... wicked.

10. Talking about admin altering scientific reports
Really, They're hitting the admin much harder than I expected. Don't you think so?

11. It's because it is SO EASY to hit a lame duck.
Anyone who didn't believe it before, believe it now. BushCo has been castrated. It's now officially "point and laugh" time.

Regrettably, the subject matter of this report isn't a laughing matter.

Perhaps other outlets will jump onboard. I suspect so. The media has had enough of George and his high fines for titties, too.

It's all about the bottom line--expect more piling on, I think, in the months ahead.

5. This is really very good.
There's a segment coming up on polar bears. Timely, as the admin is planning on selling off part of their habitat in a couple weeks.

13. I think I am not alone in being incapable of watching this.
I tuned in to watch 60 Minutes and I could not change the channel fast enough when I saw what was on. I find these shows unbearable. I was not even able to watch Inconvenient Truth. I will do ANYTHING to fight climate change, elect officials who will fight climate change, etc. But I don't need any convincing, I am already on board. I am too TERRIFIED to watch the show, to DEPRESSED by the articles, I cannot face these facts. I KNOW what is happening but I CANNOT BEAR to see it. I know I'm not alone in this. It's not denial, because I absolutely accept the fact of global warming. It is just sheer fright. It's a living nightmare. It's the End of the World as we know it. I can't bear to look.

14. You can't get a handle on what's ahead unless you face it.
It IS sad. But it's important to know. We might be able to fix it--it certainly won't be easy, but WILL and knowledge are the first steps on that road.

15. It's not over.
It's scary, but we still have time. Not much, probably. But I think some.
That's why this program is so important NOW. The public needs to know what's happening.
