Re: 'Global warming is great,'

[Daryl Taylor <Daryl@DARYLSCIENCE.COM>]

Again, I state that these climate changes are caused by forces that were set
into motion long before our first slimeball ancestor, and I'm NOT talking
about my Uncle Bud, wiggled from the primordial ooze and by forces much
greater than us. My Manitoba Beach House won't mean much, I agree, if it's
in the middle of another ice age and/or in the middle of 200 degree days.
(However, it's gotta be better than South Jersey in August...)

I just don't buy into the 'popular' beliefs that we, as an organism, are
causing any deviation in what this planet wants to do. Want to convince me
otherwise? Show me some proof. In the meantime, I'm expanding my eBay
bidding to include some mountain land in Mexico, thanks to Jim Green's
observations... Canada has much better beer, though...
