At the Airport

Hi everyone,

So I'm sitting at the Halifax Airport right now.. just waiting.. Andre dropped me off, and he just left a minute ago. I miss him already! It was hard to leave Sophie today. But I know she's in good hands. I just have to remind myself.. only 2 weeks..

My flight has only been delayed 30 minutes so far, which is great considering the snow storm we are getting. I just bought a book "Keeping Our Cool" by Andrew Weaver to keep me occupied during this trip. I'm sure I'll have it finished before I land in Copenhagen, so I'll give you my review tomorrow. It looks interesting, talking about the science behind global warming and how the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change works, as well as the media's effect on the public knowledge. The great part about the book is it's based on Canadian perspective and the future for Canadians in particular. Should be a good read! Here's a quote from the back of the book that I think is relevant this week:

"It's a compelling read that will arm you with the sense that there is much we can do as individuals and as a nation both to slow global warming and to prepare for its climactic consequences, provided that we keep our cool"

This works on so many different levels. First, we need to work together, as a nation, to make things happen. Second, each one of us as individuals CAN make a difference, we just need hope. Third, there are consequences that we are not prepared for, and this could be very devastating to our way of life. We need to prepare ourselves for any possible outcome. Just this from the back of the book? Can't wait to read the rest!

Well I guess I should get on this plane now. I'll be in Copenhagen in 22 hours... what a long day!

Until next time! :)
