lol.

Besides that, I just read in Times magazine of (April 9th) about global warming. I was shocked, shocked with joy, to see not in any way all Americans are as stubborn and foolish as Universal Mind on this topic.

Some nice quotes:
"It is getting pretty hard to deny it."
"10 of the 11 hottest years on record were between 1996 and 2006." (records go back like some 400 years, if I am right).

Anyhow. What saddens me most is not just that you are denying the clear facts global warming is true, as much as religious fundamentalists are denying the facts about evolution, but that you (or the population as a whole) never Ever learns from such things. Just a few decades ago people argued for Years and Years weather cigarette smoke was really causing lung cancer, while studies proven it was multiple times. If you lives back then, UM, you would probably be one of those people that said "Nahhh it doesn't cause lung cancer" while happily smoking.

Such mass-denial syndromes happen quite a lot in society, quite fascinating actually.

Anyhow, CO2 levels are higher then they have been in 600.000 years (if measurements from arctic ice are correct, -but isn't it convenient to all of a sudden question such things?-). There really is no denying that mankind has a certain effect on the worlds climate and CO2 levels, causing either small or large changes. Just don't forget even a relatively small change might change the flow of a single sea-current, causing gigantic effects on specific locations.
