I've been thinking about heatwaves which on the whole I DON'T enjoy but at present we in London are having to endure.
Don't get me wrong. It's not that I don't enjoy the summer sunshine but NOT when it becomes so oppressively hot you have no energy to do anything.
Excessive summer heat spells have become more common in recent decades, probably due to global warming. It's difficult to believe that with all the pumping of chemicals into the atmosphere by the ever growing world economies ( despite the blip which is the current recession) we are NOT partially responsible for the overall rise in temperatures .
Perhaps we can have a debate on this on my blog should anyone care to read my thoughts. Whether you're a Christian or not I think that we DO have a responsibility for the care of mother earth. We do seem particularly good at pursuing ever increasing wealth at the expense of the beautiful natural world with which we have been wonderfully blessed.
Here ends my brief thought for the day. What do you think?

I don't have the foggiest, but I do think that the planet will do what it will, despite us!
And I actually find all this warmth energising!!
Keep posting! :)
I think you are right in that we have a responsibility to take care of God's creation.
Didn't he give Adam and Eve that responsibility in the beginning in a perfect world.
However, I think we have lost respect for our land when we carelessly throw trash around.
I too find warmth rather energizing if it's not opressive as you mentioned.
I hope this does become a habit... posting can actually be a rather fun habit....
Keep up the good work...
The planet may do what it will Mike but I do think we cannot prevent that will leading to an ecological disaster which I believe we can effect or even prevent!
Thanks for your comments, Wanda.
To make more sense of my comment yesterday, I do think that we could affect the course of the planet's development with a more intelligent and restrained use of the earth's resources.
