The cycle goes back the other way in a few years. The earth is going to be hotter or colder based on the energy of the sun. Everyone agrees about going to cleaner energy, especially away from traditional coal-fired plants, but the amount of energy we can produce isn't enough to rival the energy of the sun. We could be producing all the carbon we can muster right into the face of an Ice Age. We have no way of knowing and no way of stopping it if we did know in advance. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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:293942 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
