Thank you, Brucelee, for that cogent, well thought-out, articulate response to the doomsayers.

Silence is golden. . . .

I agree. My panic has subsided to a bearable level and I rarely feel alarmed any more. I even stopped yelling: "Doom!" every morning in the subway like I used to.

Well, as my Grandfather used to say, "no one gets out of here alive, might as well relax!"

Yeah, we may as well just stick our fingers into our ears, sing "lalalala", and party on. Be it a nuclear holocaust or polution induced self-strangulation, doesn't really matter. Actually, the sooner, the better as we have no time to lose. About half the US population expects the rapture to be coming during their lifetimes, and who'd want to disappoint that many people.

So, heads we win, tails we win. It's all good.

Of course, no one is advocating any of the drivel you espouse above. We are also not advocating jumping on the Global Warming train without some decent science.

Remember, this stuff is brought to you by some of the very same alamists who were SURE that we were on the verge of a new ice age in 1979 and that the
"Population Bomb" would make us extinct by 1990.

Alarmist always seem to have a following, perhaps you?

BTW-if you are so concerned, I suggest you sell your Porsche and get a nice bicycle. After all, if you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem!

Remember that line?

Nah, that's OK. As I said, not alarmed any more. After randomly skimming through and picking a nugget here and there (such as the one below) out of your quite elucidating yet "concise" "contribuiton", I feel much better:

"How to Look at ‘Global Warming’
A very important thing to understand in interpreting all the swill that issues daily from the Global Warming mill (really the anti-industry, anti-population lobby, headed and pumped with money by the Royal Consort Prince Philip, and former Nazi Party member Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands)..."

Now seriously, a necessary prerequisite for a productive discussion is a common agreement on the meaning of: logic (especially this one), facts, science, and proof. I have a feeling (actually had it couple of times before but, forgot) that we are nowhere near reaching this point. My bad for forgetting this and for succumbing blindly to my debating urges again. I'll try not to make this mistake again.

Rail, that's a nice ride...but you should have gotten the "S".

That vehicle might also come in handy for transporting the amount of BS that has built up in this thread !

I agree, I thought this post was about the price of gas??

Damn "Al Gore Thread-Jackers"
