On Mt. Hood - the Hood glacier completely melted off last summer. I was

That's a shame - my one trip to Oregon was to The Dalles/Hood River
area. Very, very beautiful, with lots of snow on Mts. Hood and Adams
even in August.
Please don't discount the idea that the warming is largely solar or
cyclical. Sure, it's handy to rail at big, smelly SUVs and their
owners - shaking your fist at the sun is a lot less satisfying.
Also, keep in mind that all of our manmade pollution can pale in
comparison to a natural event like St. Helens erupting. Mama Nature
sometimes does a good job of screwing up the atmosphere all by herself.
Screwing up suggests a moral aspect in the behaviour of 'nature'. There
isn't of course (unless you're notanatheist). The problem with global
warming if it exists is that it may lead to a world that is less
habitable for humans. Mama Nature won't care if we suffer, but we
ourselves probably will...
