I recently read a question in a blog asking if it's Al Gore stupid or Michael Moore stupid to believe in global warming. I wasn?t surprised at the question since global warming has become such a politically charged topic. I also wasn't surprised at the language that was used. I find that it is very common for some Neigh Sayers to call the Believers names like stupid, ignorant, idiot, etc. and for some Believers to reciprocate in kind.

I'd like to take this topic completely out of the political arena. These political arguments do nothing but cause anger and fear. I would also like to take out the words "global warming" since it puts so many people into a tailspin. The global environment and quality of life are what's really at stake.

I am a Believer. I understand the natural cycle of climate change. I understand the changes started to increase at the start of the industrial revolution and the changes have been happening much faster in the last few decades with more industry and more cars on the road. In the past these sudden changes only happened as a result of natural disasters but I haven't heard of Krakatoa erupting lately.

I'm a Believer because I have seen the changing climate in my own home town where I've lived off and on for most of my life. There are some places where the air and water are cleaner but that's because man-made fixes have cleaned up man-made messes. In my city this is not so even though it is finally attempting to go more green. There are fewer snowfalls, more droughts, it gets warmer earlier in the year and our hot season starts in June instead of late July or August. Our air quality used to be good but on some days I can see the haze just by looking at the houses across the street. I don't need a weather alert to tell me when the ground ozone is at a dangerous level. I just have to walk outside of my house and feel the throbbing headache that won't go away until the ozone clears.

It's time to put the arguments over Al Gore and Michael Moore aside. These political arguments have delayed our efforts to clean up out planet. It's time for all of us to understand that going green is the practical thing to do and that it's a less stressful and more pleasant way to live.

I don't think it matters at all if you believe in global warming but going green is a much cheaper and more natural way of life. If you want to breathe clean air, stop putting so much junk in the atmosphere. If you want a clean water supply, quit dumping toxic waste into our streams, rivers and lakes. If you want to see a beautiful countryside, stop throwing trash out of your car window. If you want grocery prices to decline, buy local and take your own reusable bags. If you want to increase national security and create more domestic jobs, stop using so much oil and so many oil based products. If you want to improve your health, stop loading your body down with so many chemicals. If someone dumps a big pile of crap in your yard, clean it up. Once you have cleaned it up, dispose of it properly instead of just dumping it into your neighbor's yard.

Political attacks are getting us nowhere and a more practical way is called for. No matter what your political ideology is, no matter if you believe Earth needs saving or not, most of us want and need to save money. The fact is, going green saves money! Small, inexpensive and free changes in our lives can make a big positive impact on our environment and our pocketbooks. Stop waiting on the politicians.
