Peter, the correct question to ask people from the North and Canadians is:

"What day was Summer last year?"

That always gets a better "rise" out of them....hee hee.

I'll have you know we have a lovely six week summer up here... July & 1st
half of August (if it doesn't rain too much)
After that, it's a very pleasant autumn.



And if you're in the Pacific North West, the rainy season only lasts
from Jan 1 to December 31. Course, you could come up for the slug
festival. The banana slugs are especially quick if you into racing them!

Way too much Al Gore. The earth is in one of the coldest eras of its
history (unless you're a Christian that believes the Universe is only 6000
years old).

As to the CO2 causing "global warming", you need to put the graphs together
for the last several thousand years.

coldest? This is a bad joke yes? Perhaps you work for the Republican Party, Exxon?

psst...while you were out, this has been done. Try doing some research before posting such foolishness.

The problem with Al Gore's "research" is that he had a preconceived
notion -- ie that humans are causing Global Warming -- then set about to
find "studies" which proved that idea. He conveniently discards any study
which refutes his claims, and blows others entirely out of proportion.

The earth's climate is anything but static. We are fortunate to be living in
a WARM period, but even so this "warm" period is quite cool compared with
eras past. Humans have a tendency to view the world as it is *now* as
somehow the way it should always be. We build along shorelines thinking that
the shoreline must *always* be in the same place. We build in areas which
are pleasant for us to live in thinking that they must *always* be pleasant
places to live in. The world doesn't care what we want, and is constantly
changing.

And why has Al Gore et al failed to mention the thousands of rain forest
that falls to logging and slash and burn every day. The forest helps
cleanse the atmosphere of Co2

Trying to justify bad behavior by pointing at other bad behavior?

Planting trees is one of the best things we can do to "help the
environment." Creating an aribitrary and utterly impossible law requiring
the US to reduce CO2 emmissions by 90% by 2050 is simply absurd. Makes much
more sense to stop killing "the lungs of the Earth" than it does to force
people to stop exhaling.

No. Just trying to point out that all the 'supposed' increase in co2 is
not just autos. Destroying all those also increases it.

From what I've read, the best method to actually have a significant
effect on the rate of global warming is to take both personal action
and have gov't take action. The personal action doesn't have to be
that terrible. For example, swapping out CFBs for regular lightbulbs
would make a huge difference. I believe GE is phasing them out in the
next few years. On the gov't side, it works best if market forces are
used/encouraged. For example, being able to trade carbon credits would
create a market incentive to reduce greenhouse gasses. We really need
a realistic cap and a trading system.
