The "never" in context has an implied "now". In other words, taking a position today on "is it" or "isn't it" is as foolish - no, stupid, that's popular now - as on whether dark matter exists. Why? Because we don't have the technology *today* to know. Stated another way, we can never know if there is or isn't global warming by looking at data *today*. We can only look at symptoms and extrapolate root cause. With research, you can develop the technology to limit risk by limiting the unknown and defining/shrinking the "tail risk". You can learn about all of these things in middle school science. I'm sure there's a local community college near you or you could even take online courses. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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:289337 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
