Have a read of Michael Crichtons novel ‘State of Fear’.
An interesting novel, combining fact and fiction on the
subject of global warming.

I guess the book was probably 10 years old at that time, so there is nothing news, the only thing what they couldn’t think of in the 60’s how to rip the public of for that.
No they gave us LSD and taxed the flowers man!!! 
Now the scientists who dreamt up global warning are suffering from those 1960 hallucinations again 
Hows things on the weather front? Can you get home?

Bad weather brings also good things! Hired last week a digger for a day to dig the cars in the street out, she brought the car to the village but it’s to far to walk and to cold and to scared to slip etc, so we will have some suprise under the tree, its called SFA 
And the Turkey is probaly called Birds Eye crispy chicken or so.

Easy answer to both these posts, democracy. Governments need to be elected and any that came up with all this in one go would lose the next election. People only vote for short term measures that don’t hit their own pockets.
Surely this climate change stuff will pretty much sort itself out when the oil runs out in a couple of decades?
Has anyone calculated size of the “carbon footprint” of the gulf war that nobody except politicians wanted?

The irony of it all is that it took delegates from 193 different countries to fly to Cancún, Mexico and add to the global warming.
Next time could they not just send an email with their vote?

Well what do you know? Global Warming is a myth, well the rising tides are anyway, it seems that maybe due to a new ice age the ocean floors are freezing harder and pushing the water out of the bath 
Maybe the fire in the earths core has gone out…

Global warming and rising tides/sea levels isn’t a myth…Humans being responsible is the myth.
