Let it Snow?

In a blog Global Warming Hits Holy Land—with Snow, I was shocked and jealous by the news it contained. One I really like snow, I do not like winter but I love snow. I just remember at my Dad’s house we lived next to a golf course; and on snow days my friends and I would get cookie trays and sled on the hills. It was really fun, anyway back to the problem about global warming. When there is snow in the Middle East, something should tell society that we are doing something incredibly wrong. The ozone layer is important because it protects us from harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun. It would be impossible for anything to survive without it, including humans! A lot of controversy is going on about whether global warming is just a big propaganda parade, but snowing in Jerusalem just doesn’t happen on a regular bases. I am taking an evolutionary anthropology class and I learned that there is constant change in our species and landscape; but weather doesn’t really drastically change like that. In the part one paper we had to write, I wrote about air pollution and it is a contributing factor to why our ozone is thinning. In Kentucky, a law was passed where they asked constructor to stop open burning, which is where you burn a mass amount of trees or waste. I feel like making things like that illegal can help very much, and that more actions should be taken.
