We need to do as much as we can to take care and be good to our earth - you have no argument from me there. And weather cycles are inevitable. Absolutely Carl.

Thank you for your well informed opinion. Yes, I agree we need to take care when it comes to our environment...but the fear factor that is being pumped into our heads about GW is driving me a little crazy. Hi Retread!

I think it's important to show both sides of this story. I am a little tired of the "other side" getting more press...the tide may turn - especially after this winter! Yes Bill.

USGS had a study a few years ago which looked at the paleohistory of various sediment layers, which determined that this past century or so has been in a long term drought ( North America), and that we are headed back into the norm for more periodic and greater floods. It is proving to be true here. Two 100 year flood exceedances on the Black River in the 90's for example. Steadily increasing flood levels on Lake Ontario ( 248 stillwater in the 70's, to 249.7 in the 80's).

The point is that MAN is bad and Global Warming is just the most convenient term to explain why MAN is bad and we need the government to save us from certain demise. If we now get Global Cooling, it is certainly caused by the MAN as well and we need the government to bail us out before we all turn into ice cubes. The term Global Warming is not the main point.

Don't get me wrong I am a firm believer in protecting the environment but to many powerful people and wanna be power brokers turned an interesting scientific anomoly into a political agenda that would only harm the US economy and probably do more harm than good for the environment they want to protect eg the new light bulbs that have traces of mercury in them, also the proposal to reduce or even eleminate logging will possibly lead to bigger fires in our national forrests.
