Still Third Planet From The Sun

No matter how often I surf the net or physically travel the surface of the earth, I come home to Mt Pleasant to realize this is a great place to live.


I feel safer being "on top of the mountain" in Mt Pleasant MI. The UN continues to publish messages of the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The polar ice cap's seemingly irreplaceable stock of frozen tundra melt more each season. The coastal areas of the planet can expect to see water levels rise as much as four feet. Storm prone areas experience more severe and destructive tempests.


In Mt Pleasant MI i am safer but not fully removed from the probable effects of global warming. We may have less severe changes in weather patterns that impact our daily lives, however we will not escape all the implications of the trapped greenhouse gases. The way each citizen of the planet experiences climate change is a matter of degrees. Michigan, particularly central Michigan will be a better place to live.
