Re: GFM Attendees (updated)
Actually, Tom, It ~was~ colder when you were a kid. And, when I was a kid, too (that would be a few years after you... g). I just read something in the paper the other day about the average winter temps in Southern Ontario, Canada being about 2 degrees celsuis warmer than they were 40 years ago. That's a ~huge~ increase! And, it's that's a pretty consistent increase in North America. We in Toronto almost never get a white Christmas anymore. The question isn't whether global warming is happening, but why (natural fluctuations or greenhouse effect caused by greenhouse gases, or a combo of the two). regards, frank The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds.

Re: GFM Attendees (updated)
The biggest problem there is that most of the people making claims have an ax to grind. We have temperture records going back only to 1865 or so. The next best record is core samples from trees, but that only goes back a thousand years or so except for a few species that are limited to isolated areas of the globe. That does not give much of a record to prove anything with. Geological data shows that the world has been a lot colder than it is now, and that it also has been a lot warmer than it is now. I think that proves something. Which is that the whole issue is, to quote Shakespeare, Much ado about nothing. -- frank theriault wrote: The question isn't whether global warming is happening, but why (natural fluctuations or greenhouse effect caused by greenhouse gases, or a combo of the two). -- graywolf http://graywolfphoto.com You might as well accept people as they are, you are not going to be able to change them anyway.

Re: GFM Attendees (updated)
Thanks for this information Bob! I have decided that this time, I'm not going to be able to stretch it to get to England. I have a wedding booked for June 12, so need to be back in plenty of time, and the thought of going there and missing the Summer Solstice by a matter of weeks is just too much! I have always wanted to, and still intend to, visit England and Ireland one day, sans hubby and kids, just so that I may really enjoy and appreciate the sites there are to offer. As I said, I am intrigued by all things celtic/pagan and the lng history. I am a bit of a King Arthur/Morgan Le Fay nut too, but this is not the place to go into all of that. So, anyways, I really want to take my time when I do visit these countries as not only are they beautiful photo opportunities, but they are steeped in history that I find, for some reason, very dear to me. I am going to try and visit, perhaps in 2005, and it will definitely include June 21 in the date. BTW, I am the biggest baby when it comes to the cold and just don't think I could handle an English or Irish winter - mind you, you may not have to worry about those 'decibels' if I did come then, all you would hear would be my teeth chattering and my knees knocking together! lol...

We can all offer you a pleasant welcome, I hope. If you decide to visit Stonehenge (and you should), then read 'Tess of the Durbevilles' first, if you haven't already done so. 21st June is the best day to visit Stonehenge. As a visiting Australian though, you'll have to undergo a voice / decibel test on entry and if you're too loud you wear some gaffer tape over your mouth - with a small hole for sipping liquids, we're not barbarians! it's not the decibels - it's the rising intonation that makes every statement sound like a question?

My problem is that if I travel half way around the world I can't justify staying less than a month given that I can't write it off as a business cost and the air-fares alone will be about US$2250 cattle class. :-( Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998

God, I hope not! Nor is there likely to be such a gathering again, I reckon. cheers, frank The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears it is true. -J.
