Not idle gossip I'm afraid, the greenland ice sheet is melting as is the antarctic sheet and the himalayan glaciers, the earths temerature has risen 1.6 degrees in the last hundred years which doesn't sound like much but one more dgree and we are in serious trouble. Do you live in Iowa? how would you like beach front house? I cycle everywhere or take public transport, I haven't flown in years, eat organic food etc etc. But the point I wouldn't have thought there was anything much we could do really. I can't see governments changing and most people I know treat their cars like an extension of their living rooms and drive round the corner for a newspaper. Did you know that because of fossil fuels the human race uses 4 centuries worth of energy every year, what are we going to do when they run out? I read elsewhere on here someone saying they think American ingenuity will save us, I hope so but wouldn't put money on it. You don't get something for nothing I'm afraid, no free power awaits us. So is it armaggedon? probably, it was bound to happen sooner or later what with the sheer amount of totally unsustainable humans around, don't be downhearted though we could get hit by a giant meteorite long before all that ;-) To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
