I'm glad that Greenland realizes it really is happening, though, the retreating ice has opened up a lot of areas for mining in their country. |

Al Gore has pictures of Florida and India going underwater. The melt is going to raise water levels some 22 feet (or was that centimeters?). No difference. Florida is going under. Hell, he's even got pictures that make it look like the polar bears are going to be extinct. (Although it seems as though the population is growing.) What happens to all the mercury in Al Gore lightbulbs? -- John H "My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government." Thomas Jefferson |

I'm glad that Greenland realizes it really is happening, though, the retreating ice has opened up a lot of areas for mining in their country. I had a young engineer approach me a few years ago while I was taking Pro/Engineer training and asked me what I thought of global warming. I was training on the swing shift, and the second shift guys spent a lot of time discussing current events. I told the young man that I was all for it. The young engineer practically went apoplectic. "Well, what about the children?" he remonstrated. I told him that I thought the children would enjoy the change as well. Another engineer nearby laughed upon overhearing the conversation and the young man harumphed and marched off. There are a few things about the entire conversation on global warming that have puzzled me for some time. It's my opinion, and I believe it be based on good information, that the people that most invest in the fact of global warming likewise have purchased the fact of evolution. And in my various discussions with these particular folks, evolution is nothing more than change. There is no purpose, and there is no empyrean force directing it. It is simply change, and people should learn to accept that. Likewise, these same folks generally have adopted the idea that there is no hope of an afterlife. Death is an inevitability that simply must be accepted, and to try to find some way to escape it, through the conjure of superstition or otherwise, is foolish. People should just accept that there is a finality to life and nothing follows. To me, it's an odd thing that these same persons that share these views would sound such a vociferous alarm about the possible fiction of global warming. If global warming or "climate change" is a fact, then I have no problem with accepting that. But the verdict is still out. There are many qualified experts that haven't subscribed to the 'danger' of global warming as being a factual dynamic. Even still, if evolution stands as an accurate model, why resist change? It's simply change and a reasonable person should simply accept change. And if the human race should come to extinction, what is the harm? In fact, isn't that a palatable solution to the whole affair? If man is such a threat to nature and the physical world by virtue of his own folly, wouldn't nature be better off with his extinction? And life offers no real hope for better things, since any notion of better things suggest that man experentially has an appreciation that life has better things to offer, why would anyone resist a simple change in the physical world, even if that change could potentially eradicate the human race, as pitiable as it is. Perhaps someone sometime will provide some reasonable answers to this conundrum. No one has yet, to my satisfaction. -- Posted via NewsDemon.com - Premium Uncensored Newsgroup Service -------http://www.NewsDemon.com------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access |

The fact that the human contribution to natural global warming might foster an unpredictable tipping point and cause dire global consequences can be ignored too because, hey, its getting warmer anyway. -- Microplanet Gravity Version 2.9.8 Beta Grady-White Gulfstream, out of Oak Island, NC.
