Seriously Lacking the Spirit Today UPDATED
TREV: Somalia and Ethiopia are at war
WORKING: No way!
TREV: It just never ends
WORKING: Humans are too stupid to survive. I swear to God.
TREV: It's so true
WORKING: I mean it. We can’t help ourselves. As a species, we are not meant to survive.
TREV: yup
WORKING: Every newscast has something about global warming now. Dramatic changes.
TREV: The Current was all about how St Moritz has cancelled skiing competitions. Europe has gone from 10 resorts using snowmaking machines to 180 in just a few years.
WORKING: We're completely screwed.
TREV: Exactly.
WORKING: These wars? Those issues are archaic. Something larger is happening to us. Something with horrible implications.
WORKING: Merry farking Christmas.
WORKING: Pooh.

I couldn't leave it like that. Last Christmas was about family, lots and lots of glorious family (Trev and I lucked out in the family department, on both sides).
This year's theme might be a renewal of hope. New season, new hope. So in that spirit, here are some good news stories that made me feel better:
US Mayors’ Climate Protection Agreement
Walmart discovers going green pays off
Warren Buffet gives it all away
The trees are coming back?
Black rhino numbers back up
