With elections coming up just next week, the issues are probably at the forefront of most people's minds. For example, today it started snowing. Not that it isn't uncommon for this time of year (because I've totally trick or treated when it snowed before), it seems weird to me how much we are getting. Granted, here, in Albany, NY, nothing actually amounted to anything, due to the excess rain we had from the past day and a half, but down in my hometown, they were expecting eight inches. That seems like such an incredulous amount. I've never ever seen it snow that much in October. My younger sister even got sent home early because of it. Global warming, as much as I'd like to lay the blame it, may or may not have something to do with it. But we, as citizens of this country, really should look into changes that can be made, especially with energy resources. It scares me how much weather can be altered just by insignificant changes in the planet's atmosphere. Not to mention, polar bears are said to have a very small survival chance and their extinction could be possible within 40 years. We can't change nature, but we can stop polluting the atmosphere. Where is everyone?
