When the global warmers tell us that the stakes are very high, they are quite right. Global warming has become an immense international gravy train worth billions of dollars. It is now one of the largest recipients of government research money in the world. It finances jobs, grants, conferences, international travel and journals. It not only keeps a huge army of people in comfortable employment but also fills them with self-righteousness and moral superiority, and satisfies those deep instincts in the Green movement for meddling, hectoring, controlling and censuring. It enables them to say, The end is nigh unless you give us more funding, repent, and do what we say. Behind these exhortations is the vision of Rousseau, of a retreat from the evil industrialised world of motor cars and electricity back to the simpler, nobler world of nature (except for the Green priesthood who will still be allowed to fly in jet planes to attend conferences). BINGO!

LOL, I remember the ice age scare. They were as serious about that as they are now about global warming. It's getting old.
Right now I could HANG any enviro-wacko I come across. The forests in northern Arizona are blazing and it's a direct result of the greenies refusing to allow the clearning of overgrowth and deadwood. As a result we will lose the entire forest, numerous homes, and who knows how many lives. These people are so ignorant they are dangerous.

majored in geology ??
What is a geologist doing in Indiana?
To: Ernest_at_the_Beach
Well, aside from the fact I was born here, I was a coal geologist (until the Clean Air act pretty much destroyed the Indiana mining industry). My husband is a mining engineer.
We decided we wanted to stay here where our children and grandchildren are, so we found other careers. He works for a development firm and I sell antiques. It was a struggle for a while, and we held some doozy jobs in the interim, but we pretty much are ok with where we are now.
I still would like to see the energy bill passed for the miners of southern Indiana. Those jobs were the best-paying jobs available for the people of those small towns, and re-opening the mines would invigorate the economy of southern Indiana.

Looks like there may be more than one reason for all of the governments underground structures built around America, where they can survive for years.
I don't really look at leaving this world as a bad thing anymore, so I hope the "Ice Age" lasts longer then their stores............Ha Ha Ha

Now I remember those books/cartoons. My dad ruined them for me. He saw me reading them and said that man was not around when the dinosaurs were and handed me one of his history books. After reading Dad's book, I lost interest in Turok. I still like Alley Oop and Dino though.
To: Grampa Dave
Well, you see, Turok fell into a Lost World, and that is why there were dinosaurs. It was actually very scientific. Ha!
To: Miss Marple
Thanks for telling me. Too bad I traded my Turok books for bb's and candy.
To: madfly
So much for global warming?
