No shit... But we are outside of the normal cycle.  Didn't you see all
Al's pretty line charts?

As you should... But this one is not some fabrication.

Which part did you think was fiction?

Of course he did some political jabbing - but he got back to the
point.  No one is going to be able to convince me that burning fossil
fuels is not adversely affecting our environment.  The big issue now
is that all that pollution is causing a global climate change that is
*unnatural* - that is NOT part of the shifts that occur all by
themselves.


I realize that the planet goes though massive changes.. From ice ages
to scorched Earth, naturally.  This emergency we face today is caused
by combustion emissions, deforestation, toxic waste mismanagement, and
just plain old apathy about our environment.

It was boring compared to 24 and Deadliest Catch.  But that's not the
point.  I watch the Discovery mini-series "Planet Earth" every Sunday
since it started a few weeks ago.  It's "boring", but extremely
interesting too <--- 'oxymoron' defined.

I think the problem is apathy, combined with ignorance that allows
your ilk to continue downplaying the seriousness of this situation.
Wake up man - this ain't going away.
