Mr President Elect,  There has been much debate over the reality of global warming and weither there is such a thing.  I know that the debate has been on going for well over 20 years with most if not all business men and their scientists behind the position that "Global Warming is not happening!"  The truth in my opinion from years of close observation of many parts of the world is that global warming is happening and it is rapidly approaching the so called "tipping point" in which nothing man can do will slow global warming and it will become a run away process until one of two things happen.  Either the world will get so warm that violent storms will cross and recross the world, crops will fail, forests will burn, the sea levels will rise to above 50 to 75 feet above current levels.

 Now the other process could be just as bad and that is there will be a certain point crossed in which the gulf current is cooled so much that it fails to move which causes a return of an ice age, maybe!  I am not sure that the warmth we feel and which is building would allow another ice age to begin.  At any rate the so called "tipping point" which many scientists and people are speaking of as being somewhere in the 30 to 50 year range.  I believe that they are incorrect and have been way behind the curve for sometime.  If conditions are not changed drasticly meaning we start collecting carbon out of the atmosphere and putting it into the ground permanently and slow or stop the use of petro fuels.  Within the next 5 to 10 years I believe that we will see our world reach the "tipping point" where the gulf stream slows then stops.  The forest burn, water levels rapidly rise.  Finally we will start seeing over whelming cooling as the world finds itself in a rapid cooling when we go into a draught and then ice age.  We will have WW-III as people fight over food, fuel and places to live.  We are coming close to the point already where there are wars for food, water and shelter in other countries.  We will see it in the U.S. within 10 years, that is unless we take drastic action NOW.
