Enjoy it now or next times Compassion is also what we were born to do. I happen to believe that a compassionate response to the suffering of others reflects a higher level of human development than indifference excused by some philosophical rationalization.

Phil Jones confesses! You really do want 10s of millions of people to die from this global warming thing, don't you, Rick? They will die if nothing is done. Why are you so attached to such tenuous science? I am not a scientist, and neither are you, but unless the 97% of climatologists who support AGW are corrupt, the science is not tenuous. Isn't it a hint to you that governments are behind the funding of all the research that shows there to be global warming? Governments fund most cancer research too. Is that also suspect? What do governments have to gain from this? And questionable politicians such as Al Gore? I don't find him questionable. Good guy IMO. --- In [email protected]_ (mailto:fairfieldl...@yaho ogroups.com) , "Rick Archer" <r...@...> wrote: > > Quite the opposite: > _http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/nov/24/climate-professor-leaked-e_ (http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/nov/24/climate-professor-leaked-e) > mails-uea > > From: [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) [mailto:[email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) ] > On Behalf Of ShempMcGurk > Sent: Sunday, February 14, 2010 5:04 PM > To: [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) > Subject: [FairfieldLife] The jig is up!
