I have no idea whether it's so or not, and so, all things being equal, one tends to be swayed by sheer volume of comments, and sheer volume favors the GW people.<br /><br />Fortunately, nothing much is riding on what I think. Also (you know I'm a religious character) Rev 11:18 makes reference to how God will "bring to ruin those ruining the earth." <br /><br />Fifty years ago such a capability...ruining the earth....seemed improbable, save for nuclear weapons. Today there are countless ways that come to mind in which people might do it.<br /><br />That's not to say all the threats are valid, but fifty years ago you could only come up with one.tom sheepandgoatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03519896568648043000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6852435042471273114.post-76211691979586872742007-01-08T14:39:00.000-06:002007-01-08T14:39:00.000-06:00Scary Monster - Thank you.

Yes, I loved, the life of Pi, though I have the incredible compulsion to contact the author to verify whether or not it is fiction. I have the feeling that Mr. Martel would either look at me and ask what I thought, or worse, tell me the truth.<br /><br />anonymous - I shouldn't even respond to this, since you can't even be bothered to add a name to your post, but I will.<br />1. Read <i>Kicking the Sacred Cow</i> by James P Hogan.<br />2. Melting Ice does not prove global warming; it proves that ice melts when exposed to temperatures above freezing.<br />3. The greenhouse effect is mostly caused by water vapor.<br />4. Unless you have unlimited time (or say, your job revolves around it), you cannot read all of the information available on "Global Warming" and separating the fact from the propaganda is rather difficult, as I have been pointing out. (Especially, like I said, when it is not the person’s area of expertise)<br />5. And this is probably the most important: I did not say that my opinion was the be all end all, in fact, I implied that it wasn't worth much.<br />6. Besides, this blog isn't about global warming, it is about stupidity, and (with apologies to the Hindus for my sarcastic use of the word) the pundits surrounding "Global Warming" are the best of the bunch.Victor Allen Wintershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12663495006661713723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6852435042471273114.post-27277769655179054932007-01-08T09:11:00.000-06:002007-01-08T09:11:00.000-06:00I like the way you write, but if you are looking f...I like the way you write, but if you are looking for evidence of global warming you might want to check out the recent discoveries of the increasing melt rate of the northern polar ice cap as well as the decrease in ice mass in the south. We are approaching the event horizon and sitting in your trailer will not do anything to change the attitude of ignorant buisness conglomerates who continually pump out co2 gasses without thought that it might affect the environment. You seem intelligent I would think an intelligent person would check out all the facts before presenting his opinions as the be all and end all of scientific enquiry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6852435042471273114.post-67366674490380439252007-01-08T04:20:00.000-06:002007-01-08T04:20:00.000-06:00Me be needing a change of pace so Me decided to vi...Me be needing a change of pace so Me decided to visit some friends of friends.
