| Global Warming? The problem is that there are just too many factors in the equation. Al Gore and his chums make it all sound a done deal...politics ahead of science... conveniently leaving out the bits that they don't like and the areas that they know bugger all about! FOR billions of years, Earth has been on a perilous journey through space. As our planet whirls around the sun, the whole solar system undertakes a far grander voyage, circling our island universe every 200 million years. Weaving our way through the disc of the Milky Way, we have drifted through brilliant spiral arms, braved the Stygian darkness of dense nebulae, and witnessed the spectacular death of giant stars.Many of these marvels may well have been deadly, raining lethal radiation onto Earth's surface or hurling huge missiles into our path. Some may have wiped out swathes of life, smashed up continents or turned the planet to ice. Others may have been more benign, perhaps even sowing the seeds of life.(New Scientist). It would be something if the Global Warming folk could just for once leave their simpleton equation: Earth+ Humans= global warming; and try and get past their sloganeering and understand that it's very complex; and we really just don't know what's causing the earth to warm. Oh...and we're not even back to the temps when the Vikings stopped what Vikings are famous for and made like farmers in Greenland! In the last 2 million years we have had ice sheets down to our privates then in only 30 years it's 15F warmer...and when all this was going on, there was about 10 of us in Africa. You see, all the "research dough" is in Al Gore's fav subject; even though any geologist will smirk and quite rightly inform you that we are still in an Ice Age! Although we are overdue a really big ice sheet advance by over 3,000 years, just try getting a wad of the green backs to research the human, political and environmental global consequences of that baby!
