Doom and gloom

I should be going out to grocery shop so I can get back in time to weed some more. I weed during the last 1-2 hours of daylight when it's not so hot. I should go now. Instead, I'm watching National Geographic channel, currently I'm seeing just what happened with the flooding in New Orleans and the list of pollutants is staggering. Strangely enough, this is not nearly as bad as the program on before it about how 95% of life was wiped out during the Permian period. Volcanos in Sibera raised the temperatures five degrees and when the oceans temperatures raised, some sort of methane gas was released that killed off all ocean life. This greenhouse gas raised the temps another five degrees and voila, 95% of all life is gone.
On the news last night, they mentioned that temperatures in California have been raised five degrees in the last 100 years. Al Gore was on Letterman last night talking about global warming. That really brilliant scientist that is wheelchair, Stephen Hawking, thinks it's imperative that mankind colonize the moon and Mars because something catastrophic is lurking about here on Earth.
Things aren't looking so good, you know?
I'm going now, venturing out into the heat. Perhaps hard, sweaty work will lift my spirits? :::sigh:::
