the day after tomorrow

is anyone else a little worried about the insanely warm weather this winter? it's the end of january already, and we haven't really had a winter yet. and it's not just because i've moved, the winter in edmonton has been uncharacteristically warm too.

i'm no expert on global warming and all that, but i know that the temperature on average has slowly become warmer by a few degrees every few years. and this causes ecological issues with the ice caps, water levels in the seas and oceans, habitat changes for the wildlife, and whatever else.

now, i don't think we're heading towards global annihilation as a result of this warm winter, but it does worry me to a certain extent. i wonder if this just means we'll be in winter until july.

it's like the day after tomorrow, except opposite. and jake gyllenhaal isn't trapped in new york city.

on another note, i made a dentist appointment today. the receptionist was "looking at the end of february" but then i told her i'd like to come in sooner because my wisdom teeth are coming out, so it's on feb 7th instead. i did not want to wait a month to see a dentist because i'll probably have to wait another month until i can get another appointment to get them taken out.

  • you should join leonardo dicaprio's crusade to stop global warming!! but seriously, it worries me too...when people complain about the weather at the bank...i say at least we're on the more fortunate side of global warming....

  • ctv just did a story about our crazy weather, and they were saying that it's more of an anomaly than a pattern, and that the arctic air that usually is over us during winter is more northeast and is over russia now. and people are dying in the -40 degree weather there. and they interviewed a senior climatologist from environment canada that said "it's safe to say that winter 2007 will be colder than winter 2006." great, thanks. that's why you get the 'senior' in your title.

    thanks for putting my lucky money in my account.

    i called home to say happy new year to grandma, but she was out with aunt penny and dad picked up, and he's like "you can say happy new year to me." hahaha. i guess i can.

  • I think I'll start to worry about global warming when I see a polar bear floating on a piece of ice downt the North Saskatchewan or when I have to slow down when I'm driving to let penguins cross the road.
