Record Temps in Texas - Global Wacky Weather

When I hit Dallas today, my car said it was 107 degrees .

Record temperatures even higher than that spread across Texas. It was 108 somewhere. It is triple digit almost everywhere. Crazy weather!

It is a Crazy heat that drives people out of their minds if rain doesn't break the spell. But then, being crazy in Texas as as natural as spit anyway.

I learned from TV news that a huge hail storm hit Dallas this morning and broke a lot of windows. That nutty weather was no where in sight when I turned up at the peak of the heat. The hotel had skylights that let the sun through like heat lamps. I wished they had our solar security film cutting that blinding light.

I'm here because we have a commercial inquiry -- they said they need burglary and break-in protection, which our security film provides.

it also cuts the heat - whether it is climate change or not. This morning my Seabrook Rotary club had a spirited debate on global climate change after a young intern from Rep. Pete Olson's office spoke.

This will be a good debate for Americans to have. Our future, and the future of our children and grandchildren depend on getting it right...some people were not willing to consider the actual tonnage of emission our global factories produce, which makes no sense. If we are distorting the 'natural cycle' by pumping billions of tons of damaging material into the atmosphere, we better recognize it and do something or our children (and our economy) pay a huge price as a result.

If we get it wrong that our future generations are screwed, to put it mildly.

Today we have an opportunity to transform our energy sources and develop the technologies of the 21st century. Either we develop them or lose out to other countries who develop them before we do.

If China thinks that it wins by polluting more and therefore "paying less", its making a huge mistake - the black air from their factories is killing their own citizens.

We treat sewage to avoid the problems like disease that arise when it isn't, right? Why not treat our air emissions for the same reason?

We have to constantly innovate our technology or lose in the global technology future. GM lost out to the Japanese who developed hybrid engines when Detroit refused to. GM had zero interest in improving engine efficiencies... so they went bankrupt when no Japanese auto companies did. Only Ford did OK.

It is time we got in front of the eight ball instead of behind it. If we mess up we no longer have as habitable of a planet for future generations (of OUR kids, don't forget), so let's take sensible action NOW instead of doing nothing. We have done nothing far too long.

We don't get a second chance if we mess up our planet's atmosphere.
