That's great. It's 80+ here today. That's right, it's mid Dec and my A/C is *still* on. In fact, I have only turned it off for about 10 days during 'cool fronts' since mid April. Speaking of trends, I moved here in 1980 and we used to have several periods of 'hard freezes' per year where we would have to cover plants. I can't remember the last hard freeze warning. I guess that means it's getting warmer everywhere?

Thats great. 20,000 years ago there was an ice age where ice covered much of North America, Europe, and Asia......and now much of those continents are relatively ice free.

Oh my god....the earth must have warmed.....

I'm really curious where Robor lives. Can't be Southern California as it has been cold as fuck the winter months. Hell even the summer wasn't hot except for maybe a month where I saw it hit 85-90, mostly in the mid to high 70s.

Algore is on track to become the world's first green billionaire, so yeah, I'd say a lot of people take him seriously. He may or may not actually believe the drivel he spews, but it's quite important to him that we believe it. Pay no attention to his private jets or his many homes or his fleet of black SUVs or his zinc mine (on land sold to his father by Armand Hammer - now there was a man who knew how to buy politicians!) that poisoned the Caney Fork for decades. What's good for others is not necessarily what's good for Algore, and vice versa, and we may not judge him as mere mortals are judged. But hey, that doesn't matter; as long as he tells the rest of us to do the right thing, he's entitled to become a billionaire by using the power of government to force the rest of us to buy his indulgences.

I have to confess that once I really thought he was a jerk when he gave less to charity than did I (not exactly known for my compassion and giving) even though he earned more than 400 times my income, but now I understand - he's entitled.

And I'm totally serial.

The head of the IPCC (Economist/ Engineer Pachauri)will beat Al Gore on the money making thing. There is a ton of (follow the money) info about him that has come out in the last few weeks.

A little Tidbit about the guy (Pachauri) that Heads the IPCC,,,He was hand picked by Bush!
