The sun burns with a reddish tint, as the shadows of the evening grow ever deeper and darker. The crimson twilight is the boundary between day and night. It is a warning that night is coming, that darkness is looming and that the sun will be no longer present to guide us through the endless skies. The crepuscule is your only warning. Be cautious!

We put all of the carbon dioxide in so that none of the heat can get out. Ladies, it is an issue that's on the rise – whether you believe it or not. CBS news recently announced that by 2100, the sea level will rise by almost a meter. You must be thinking, oh that won’t effect me I’ll be long gone by then. Well, you children and your grand children and potentially even your great grandchildren will have to endure with the ramifications of our actions. They will have to endure the droughts, the water loss, the strong hurricanes on top of that they will live in fear of being 6 foot in water as predicted by National geographic. Even if the phrase “Reducing carbon emissions” seems like a repeated phrase, it is, because it is a constant warning that we could be the cause of our own home.
