Phyllis, you're sweet, too! Â Thanks again for the 'tattoo you'. The point of the links I attached is that, contrary to what we've been hearing for years, there may be no disaster waiting to catch up with us. Beginning at the turn of the last century, there was a marked rise in CO2 in the atmosphere -- due to the industrial revolution, and it's been increasing ever since. Â Yet, there was no corresponding rise in global temperatures. Â Twenty-five or thirty years later there was a cycle of increasing temps, but then it dropped again until sometime in the 70's. Â Then, beginning in 1998, the temps have dropped again. Â One would think that if global warming were directly tied to CO2 levels, you'd see steadily increasing global temperatures. But instead, there seem to be heating and cooling cycles that last roughly 25 or 30 years, then reverse, and seem tied more to ocean temperatures than anything else. Â These cycles are documented in my second post in this thread by a geologist at Western Washington University, Dr. Don Easterbrook. Â Also well worth reading is this speech by Michael Crichton in 2005 at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. Â Crichton was no mental slouch, having gone through med school before becoming a writer: Â http://www.crichton-official.com/speech-ourenvironmentalfuture.html Like Crichton, I firmly believe in recycling, saving gas, and doing as little harm to the environment as possible. Â But I also extremely dislike being bullied by fake science and scare mongering public figures, who themselves don't abide by the rules they're trying to force on us. Â Whatever happened to the mantra 'Question authority!'?
