[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Don't forget the biggest threat

[Larry Wittig]

With all the crazy relatively short term things going on in the world it's
easy to overlook the biggest (identified) threat to the quality of life on
earth -- GLOBAL WARMING.
The last few months have broken all records. Not just by a little but by a
lot. Part of the reason is that we're coming off of a La Nina and starting
a El Nino. But peak global temperatures don't peak until about three months
after the El Nino -- so if you think it's bad now wait until next year.

Never before have we seen such a large jump in such a short time frame.

this publication for more information.
