Thus endeth the reading of the gospel according to Jon. Max, it's an article of faith with these folks. Challenging their gospel is like urging that the Bible is not divinely inspired--you'll never get that concession from the ultra-devout. Those running the global warming show are in it for the money and power. And they depend upon dupes like Jon to buy into their spiel. Fortunately for them there are plenty like Jon around to fund their chosen lifestyles. Max Compared to Cheney's crowd who are in it for patriotism. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

We're polluting our environment by cutting down the forest and by burning the vegatation. That produces greenhouse gasses, which contributes to the global warming. In addition, the lack of trees reduces the possible absorbtion of those very gasses. Look it up if you're not too scared. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

It contributes to weather change, mostly precipitation...and is the most easily solvable environmental problem out there...and for the most part, entirely out of our vontrol because you're not going to convince some 3rd world country that makes money doing it to stop..unless you go in and kill em all or something else equally drastic...we have made great strides in reforestation here in the US especially in Washington and Oregon, which is where out great rainforest ecists... |

I think he's got copies of Karl Marx's works in his guest bathroom with a small sign taped on the wall above them: "Please help yourself to a copy and read it thoroughly and repeatedly. And believe."
