Then I added photo voltaic panels alongside the solar water panels on my roof, so my home's electric and hot water needs are supplied by the sun. I did this instead of updating my guest bath and doing a landscape reno. I traded in my perfectly good CR-V for an Escape Hybrid which I now dive out of. These are not cheap solutions, yet, but we all must do what we can, now. Here on Maui there is one dive operator, Extended Horizons, that runs on 100% biofuel, which is not cheap either (it's from restaurant cooking oil - diesel fumes are replaced with the scent of donuts or french fries). In finding solutions to curb CO2 some will argue over the cost, and others will step in and just do something.

With the melting Polar Ice cap, the engine that runs our weather, the deep ocean currents that moderate the whole Earth will stop, changing weather patterns drastically. Already apparent to me. The major rice producing areas had a crop failure this year due to drought, and this winter is charging in with terrible snow storms in the USA. I am dismayed that so many don't take Global Warming seriously. I believe we're doomed. People in temperate latitudes will experience a lot worse than a longer growing season.
