Re: climate change times are a changin'
thank you.
and yes, Rover, I was wrong about Romney. as were Romney's internals and most of the other pollsters.
I hoped this would not turn in a flame throw. and yes, I'm being lazy not looking things up for myself. overwhelming amount on the net about this and I can't find anything unbiased. for the record, I was a hippie environmentalist long before most of you were born, spending Saturdays smashing glass bottles in to pieces to be shipped to the recycler. I was a founding member of my high schools environmental group. I still consider myself an environmentist. we heat with wood, use our own well for water, use the screwy lightbulbs, use greeny bags, recycle, keep the tires inflated, love our National Parks, belong to several trails and wildlife associations. yes, we drive internal combustion cars. guilty as charged. I love nature and all things wild and natural. I spend most of my days in the woods while in the Keweenaw.
we own land and work with Michigan Tech forestry to manage the timber responsively. and I've seen all the fads come and go, return of the ice age, nuclear winter, acid rain, overpopulation, depletion of our forests, poisoned apples, etc etc. when global warming was first brought up, late 80's?, I bought into it hook line and sinker.
Al Gore was the worst possible spokesman for the cause and he caused me to question the whole thing. for now I sit on the fence.
funny thing - oil, coal, natural gas - they are as organic as anything the earth herself produces.

Again climate change or whatever the hell people want to call it isn't my passion in life. I think society, at least in the Western world, is much much more environmentally aware, and unlike a lot of problems has actually taken action to improve the situation. Provided we keep increasing the progress the world should be in decent shape.
