basskisser wrote: http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cg...NGE5MTQ211.DTL Ice is a fluid that ebbs and flows 10,000 years ago, there were glaciers covering most of the area where I now live. They receded. Undoubtedly was *not* due to a buildup of greenhouse gasses from the cooking fires of the handful of natives living in the area. The earth has been almost steadily "warming" since the last ice age, so the people who say that this is a natural phenomenon have some science on their side. At the same time, it would seem plausible that industrial activities, deforestation, and combustion of fossil fuels by all manner of vehicles (and vessels!) are likely contributing to or accelerating the warming. Will we reorganize societies and economies to reduce greenhouse gasses? Probably not. So far, the only real results I can see from all the yakkity yak about global warming- with people who insist that man is the sole culprit on one side of the argument and with people who insist that man does not have the capacity to affect the planet on the other side of the argument is an increase in methane and carbon dioxide. :-) It isn't difficult to come up with a list of various species that have perished on this planet due to climate change, and it isn't entirely imposible that human beings might someday be added to that list. In the final analysis; nobody with a motorized pleasure boat has any license, at all, to seriously complain about the global consumption of fossil fuel. (Sort of like Al Gore travelling around in a big SUV). A true believer would need to sink his or her boat, junk out his or her car (not just sell it, and transfer the problem to another person), and take up walking, rowing, and bicycling instead. |

David Perlman is the San Francisco Chronicle Science Writer. And, did you just happen to see that there were 15,000 scientists at the American Geophysical Union annual meeting saying the same things? I know, I know, the party that you goose step to has told you that global warming isn't happening. And what about the team of scientist from the National Snow and Ice Data Center at the University of Colorado and the International Arctic Research Center at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks? Suppose they don't know what they are talking about, but Rush and Hannity do, huh? Well, I take it that you don't believe the article? Prove the writer wrong. I'll be waiting. |

I'd like to hear about it. I understood there were several, and that the ship you wrote about wasn't even first, yet you state that it was THE cable.... |

Simple people are easily amused! Here's what you should do, go and get yourself a few of those very efficient machines. Report back on the operating costs, okay? |
