An Obvious Thing That We Do Not Blame Global Warming On

     We all think of the usual suspects. Industrial pollution. Internal combustion pollution (which includes everything that burns fossil fuel like automobiles, airplanes, ships and etc.). Yes this probably does contribute to global warming. 
     Other things may be the aging of the Sun. Shifting of the Earth's tilt. The fact that the Moon is moving away. After such a severe winter it it hard to think about global warming. But oddly enough the travel shows that I watch that are in mountains with glaziers all show them melting. Way smaller then they were just twenty years ago. Is it because of the ozone layer? I do not know. But I do know that glaziers provide the water for the Colorado River, Nile River, Rhine and Danube Rivers. Not to mention others in South America. So for some reason something is melting them. 
     One hundred or two hundred years ago there were very few paved roads. Even fewer if any paved parking lots. As the modern times came along things were paved everywhere. All of us know that heat rises. On a hot summer day take this test. Put your hand on pavement whether it be concrete or asphalt. Then put you hand on grass. The pavement can be scorching. While the grass isn't. Touch a tree. Is it burning hot? Not likely. So think of all the paved roads and parking lots all over the world. Where is all this heat that wasn't produced two hundred years ago go? Up of course. So could this be contributing to global warming? I think so. But I have been wrong before. 
     Look at all the heat that comes from your motor vehicle. Just about any device generates heat. Is your computer or TV warm right now? Is it warm around your home's air conditioning unit? Is the back of the fridge warm? I would yes to all of the above. 
     So the planet is supporting the largest population that we know. Primary resources as air and water are depleting. Fertility of soil is less. Toxic wastes that have no where to go are going somewhere. 
     I am surprised that the planet has held up so well so long. But as the person that drinks and smokes, it will get you. And I think it will get mother Earth too.
