Dear Miss Liza,

I don’t have to tell you how HOT it has been.  It’s so hot… I went outside for a smoke and the cigarette lit itself…..is this a result of Climate Change or Global Warming?

Dear Susan,

You are right… it is HOT!  It’s so hot… my thermometer goes up to “Are you kidding me?”!!!

Global warming is the term used to describe a gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere and its oceans, a change that is believed to be permanently changing the Earth’s climate.  The increased volumes of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases released by the burning of fossil fuels, land clearing, agriculture, and other human activities, are believed to be the primary sources of the global warming.  All I know is… it’s HOT!  It’s so hot I saw the Devil in the Hardware Store buying air conditioners. Bye!!!

Miss Liza
