Bob Parks and Al Gore notwithstanding we are but fleas on the skin of this planet. Utter hubris to think we have any significant influence whatsoever. Elitist socialism cloaked in the guise of environmental responsibility only fools those who want to be fooled and the pathological self haters.
http://www.clearlight.com/~mhieb/WVFossils/ice_ages.html Probably one of the more interesting aspects of the next ice age (on schedule and unaffected by us good or bad) is that there is now a resilient species now tagging along with the capability of adapting to extreme environmental changes at a pace quicker than normal evolution, natural selection, or the march of the ice. This time our societies will not be crushed to rubble or encapsulated in the bedrock historical record. They will pock mark into the ice structures themselves like Swiss cheese and persist and thrive in-spite of it all. -john -----Original Message----- From: Akira Kawasaki [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 29, 2006 4:53 PM To: vortex-l Subject: [Vo]: (VO) FW: [BOBPARKS-WHATSNEW] What's New Friday September 29, 2006 WHAT'S NEW Robert L. Park Friday, 29 Sep 06 Washington, DC 2. GLOBAL TEMPERATURE CHANGE: TIME TO HEAD FOR HIGHER GROUND. Nothing irritates global warming deniers more than a new report from James Hansen's group at NASA, but warming seems to be taking place at the rate predicted 20 years ago. On Monday, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences published a new report from Hansen's group that says "the planet as a whole is approximately as warm now as at the Holocene maximum and within 1-degree C of the maximum temperature of the last million years."
