Its NOT about the film, its about the weird climate this holiday season.

Its holiday season, and more than it is at bethelhem, it is in the United States. Swap around any of their radio or TV channels (through internet radio, or through slingbox) you will hear and hear nothing but christmas songs and holiday Advertisements.

'no work all play' season.. usually more remembered for the festive fairy tale setting with all snow.. snowing around all the time. (For people like me who haven't been there, you can remember all those english movies from funny children stuff, to Die Hard 2 where christmas time climate is "snow".. only snow).

But this time around, the sad thing is, seemingly there's 'NO' Snow or much less snow in many parts of the Americas, Britain... except for probably the north pole where too possibly its 'reduced' snow.

Here's a report on the abnormal weather conditions in 2006

'Climate change' is what everybody is thinking and everyone is worried and serious about doing anything to get back their earth from its growing anger... leave alone those thousands of people who are more worried.. we don't want to discuss doomsday this season..not now.

Questions to ponder over the holidays?

Will we be (or already) missing... the ice man, the snow balls, the snow covered cars, and all that white everywhere...with those big machines throwing snow out of the roads.?

Is climate change actually making everything go wrong slowly?

What all will stop the change as it is today, then we think about reversing the change.

What the weather channel can forecast is the climate.. not why it is happening.. thats something we should be bothered about. are we?

Organizations, scientists, educationist's can always study climate change and suggest theories, but by the time they come back, we shouldn't have worsened the situation. Should we start with better or lesser fuel consumption, ban on freon like chemical components, and what else. ?

Should we stop NASA research on moving to colonies outside earth .. and contribute that on existing problems.

We know more damage was made by katrina than the attack on WTC. in economic loss and change in priorities of american people. Shouldn't the government and UN be allocating equal funds and energy to analyze climate change, as much as on 'war on terror' ?

For the brave thinkers..

Are we looking at something as serious as 'the day after tomorrow'?

How long do we have?
