The fact is that global warming/cooling are cyclical and the results are
beyond the means of humans to control it just as major natural
disasters.  Hurrican Katrina is a pimple when compared to the overall
scheme of natural progression.

Here's a few things to gnaw on that humans would have absolutely no
control over and which will occur sooner or later.


� Yellowstone park contains (perhaps the most) violent potential for a
volcanic event that would significantly change world climate for years.

� Deep Atlantic seismic activity could produce a tidal wave that would
strike the east coast of the US and make that little Indonesian thang
look like chump change.

* Then of course is the "big one" (Andreas Fault adjustment) which is
already twenty years overdue and will occur during most everyone's life time.


There is nothing like bad science that feeds multiple
industries/bureaucracies to become the lifeblood of liberals being
generally ignorant and reality challenged.

Liberals...  Ya gotta luv 'em..
