The weather this weekend surely didn't seem like October kind of weather. Sunday and Monday proved to be two of the most gorgeous days of the season. Reaching temperatures into the upper 80's, Sunday was a perfect day to flock to any of the local beaches in the state. I walked to Scarborough State beach with a few friends Sunday and it's safe to say we weren't the only ones who thought the beach was a perfect escape. Summer or fall the beach is a perfect way to get away from the heat! The ocean was actually quite cold which is only natural for this time of the year but we were able to go for a quick swim to relieve some of the heat. With such high temperatures this early in october we all had a discussion about why it is that this is happening. The first point that was brought up was evidently global warming. One can only use this as an excuse but in actuality much of it may be true. Could it be that our world is slowly warming and therefore temperatures are rising? Is it possible that one day we may have no seasons such as fall and winter rather only summer? I previously created a blog about the effects and potential of global warming and learned quite a bit about how it has already affected our environment. My hope is that the people in our world will start caring more about global warming and want to do more about it. It scares me and makes me worry about my future and the future of my children. This should be a concern for my generation and those who have yet to come. It's a serious issue in our world today and every time we have these crazy hot days that set records or have never been seen before it really makes me think. It's something we all need to care and think more about.
Black Carbon...YIKES!!!!
