"warming" does not equal temperature heat; it's common misunderstanding of the use of the term. What "global warming" means is that more of the Sun's *energy* is penetrating into Earth's climate systems. The effect this added energy might have is unknown. It may trigger a new ice age, it may turn us into Venus, it may do both. Think of spinning a basketball on your finger; it may be nice and stable at a certain energy input level, but at a higher level there's really no good predictor of what might happen. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:283001 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
