Blog Action Day '09 Climate Change

This is how I'm echoing the BAD's call for awareness of the climate change.
This is happening and is getting worse. I can tell you we used to have 4 seasons in Hong Kong, at this time of the year after the Mid-Autumn Festival, it started to get chilly and you could taste the fresh dry air and clear blue sky, a sign telling you that the wet hot summer was gone, that it was the best time of the year to go to picnics, BBQ, wild camping... our chief executive (oh the governor at that time) did not need to hope for the return of the blue sky, cause everything you saw was crystal clear (I'm not joking, one could see all the crispy sharp edges and windows on the buildings across the victoria harbor backed by Tai Ping Shan easily without wearing the eyeglasses, and you would soon get to winter where some freezing days would surely greet you to death (speaking from a Hong Kong standard, days got down to 4 degree C were not surprising).  One just couldn't get to sleep without warming his feet with a big bowl of hot water. Then it came the misty spring when you got up one morning waken by the blowing horn of the ships because all the seawater was covered with a thick layer of fog and one could barely walk to school along a foggy road...
Those were the days talking about some 50 years ago before the climate change. http://www.blogactionday.org/
