We don't control the weather

Everyone now is talking about global warming, whether they are scared of it or think it’s a hoax. I think those who think it’s made up are just making an excuse to do whatever they want without thinking about how it impacts our environment. Those of the naysayers are using the current blizzards as proof of their case.
Still, the trend of thought is to say we are negatively damaging our environment and the government is responsible to stop it at all costs. Let’s forget about cap-and-trade because I don’t want to get into the political thing. However, I will comment that there are some rather absurd ideas going around like sprinkling dust into the clouds to reflect the sunlight back into space. We’ll see how popular that is after the first rainstorm turns all the cats in England maroon. Yes, I know that probably won’t happen but that’s not really the point. The fact is that not one but two major environmental conditions have occurred in America that should really push a message home that we don’t have as much power as we think we do to control the weather: the current blizzard conditions and the earthquake in Chicago. That’s right. 4.3 on the Richter scale.
I’m not saying we should go out and start burning tires on our front lawn. Be environmentally conscious, but be normal. Understand if we do our part to take care of the planet, G-d will do the rest.
For now, I’m enjoying my day off. Enjoy yours too.
