Well, it's pretty clear that you don't believe that global warming is
happening and that we can do something about it.

I know you directed this to Lloyd, but I hope you'll accept my answer, too.

I believe that global warming *is* happening, and I do believe that the net
effects of human inhabitation are at least part of the cause. The best
prediction by most scientists is that the mean temp of the Earth will rise
by less than 1 degree F by the year 2100. What no one knows is whether one
degree will be signficant enough to cause the sort of potentially
catastrophic effects that may imperil our existence. My point is--we know
almost nothing about the potential effects of global warming. How are we
supposed to know how to curb the process? Literally every attempt by man to
control major global climatic effects has been a dismal failure. For
example, some recommend efforts to reduce the level of CO2 in the
atmosphere, but we *do* know that CO2 is necessary for plant life, and that
reducing it may result in a significant reduction of global foliage, causing
a rapid increase in temperature. Conundrum.

So, good for you. Perhaps you should post a few dozen more links... like
I'm going to take the time out of my busy schedule! Bwahahahahaaaaa

Ah, so you aren't worried about global warming. Okay.

Not to worry--we'll all be long gone anyway when the next ice age hits in
about 2000 years.
