people like 'guest' Andy appall me with stupid (yes, STUPID..) insights like "it was cool this weekend.." etc.

Yeah...it's cooler right now where I am than usual for this time of year, but anyone with any sense will realize that temporary local variations are irrelevant in the global average.

Anyone who doubts....go READ...go LISTEN...to the ones who are seriously doing the field work and collecting the data!!!! We have problems, guys....you WILL believe in a few years, and then you'll pretend that "no one really warned me", and you'll complain that "no one did anything about it"....and YOU are the ones re-electing the idiots who refuse to do anything about it, and who are buying the SUVs and who are cutting down fields & forests for more malls and highways......

   .....and yes, you are the ones who refuse to see the danger of overpopulation that casts the big shadow over ALL the other problems.

Go on...keep denying and avoiding and pretending; maybe you'll get thru your miserable lives before the worst begins to sink in...but your kids and grand kids will ask why you hid your head in the sand!

Who, me? Cynical? naaawwwww...
