The version of Ivanhoe we've been watching uses a few "special effects" that make me laugh out loud every time.

Link wouldn't work for me Karl but no matter. We humans do contribute to global warming I am sure but I think it's in a small way and the real culprit, if you could call it that, is "the cycle". Or cycles. All on earth cycles. The climate, the continents, the mountains, the rivers. The sun cycles. Hurricanes cycle as do droughts and wet years. Climate cycles like warm to cooler and vice versa and in huge chunks, not just in few year increments. And I don't think I'm saying what you don't know already know. This has all been said many times before so I'm just rattling here. It's so intertwined and complicated that it boggles my mind as it seems to do to many specialist/scientist in the various fields also.
The end results are: Al Gore is full of horse manure!

I've been doing some reading on the Maunder Minimum and the last "little ice age" and I gotta tell ya, there's a lot to be said for global warming. Some say it'd be a lot worse but I'm guessing with modern transportation it's doubtful if we'd have the same level of famine experienced in the last "little ice age" but still, around the world some larger number of people than at present would starve to death. |

Oops. Must of forgotten to stick the link in there. It's fixed. And here it is again:
Melting Swiss glacier reveals secrets. Wow. Surprise...it's been warm before. Wonder what they blamed it on thousands of years ago? Farting mammoths? |

Wow, great story. There have been a lot of pretty extreme weather cycles and I don't think it's any secret but I guess it doesn't go along with man made climate change so it's rarely mentioned. |

Oh...I do believe in human effects on climate change. No doubt about it. But...how much? There's so many variables in play. Especially considering how much climate changes by itself.
What gets me are two things: A. The real green folks make it sound like the only thing causing climate change are...people. B. And...well gee...they also seem think that the only good and perfect world is one that is not affected by people. And you know what that means? Yep....no humans and the cockroaches take over. |

Sheesh - I think globull cooling has set in personally. Y'all see the news about the blizzard in N. and S. Dakota today? And here it's getting chilly. I'm actually thinking of building a fire in the fireplace tonight. Not that cold (low 40s by morning) but the kids are coming up and it's kinda for them plus use a little of that Ike generated firewood. :o)

You're done for to be sure. None of that here, we've got rain in the forecast for the next three days and warmer temps as well (overnight lows in the 60s vs. the mid 40s). |

Here's a great dea;! E.P.A. Expected to Regulate Carbon Dioxide If your social security number ends in an even number you can exhale on a second that ends with an even number and if it ends in an odd number.... Office breath watches will be distributed by the government free to those that don't work. For those that have a job they will cost $500. If you breath out of cycle there will be a $1.00 carbon exhale out of cycle excise tax. |

In thinking about your daughters bycycle trip I wonder if you'd have to pay more when you exercise since you're putting out more carbon dioxide?

Ouch. That would only be fair!!
Oh dear. Wonder how that would affect me on days like yesterday? Had a Mexican meal the night before and I must confess, I didn't even like being around myself. (And no GaxX or anything stashed away.) |

Proving once again that God has a sense of humor. Pelosi Snowed-Out of Global Warming Rally Reality is a brute. |
