Default So much for global warming . . .

No doubt. It's those blips that'll kill ya in the short term (less than
1000 years). We can do something about it if we have the political will.

I went through Jr. High and High School during the 70's. It was then the
"scientific concensus" that the Earth was experiencing global cooling,
caused by -- wait for it -- human activity. The one thing that I have
learned over the years is that we don't know half of what we think we do,
and what we do know, even if true in the short-term, may well turn out to
be false in the long run. I've been watching some tinkerers on television
creating "solutions" to "global warming," such as launching millions of
mirrors into space to partially block the sun. These people scare the
bejeesus out of me. More likely than not, if they ever succeed in getting
their half-baked ideas off the ground, is that they'll usher-in another
ice age thousands of years before it would have happened naturally.



I think we know a bit more than we did in the 70s...
