Have you ever had a FEVER? When folks hear that the planet is warming a FEW degrees they don't understand that it is much like when WE get a fever.
I've heard folks say, "What's a few degrees in either direction? Here in Arkansas it can change several degrees in an HOUR. No biggie!"
WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I tell them MOTHER EARTH HAS A FEVER.
When your temperature rises to 99 degrees, you start feeling a bit puny, but still go about your business. At 100 degrees, you slow down a bit and consider taking off work. At 101 degrees, you climb into bed. At 102 degrees, you have chills and feel TERRIBLE! 103 degrees is DANGEROUS, call the doctor!
That is just a FEW degrees but it can be lethal to let your temp go that high. Same with the Earth, our planet is ILL and needs to get to the emergency room PRONTO!
Sincerely,
One Worried Mom
