It should surprise no one that people who would break into email systems would have no qualms with taking isolated paragraphs out of context in order to distort what actually is going on. This is part of the same Big Oil/Big Coal scam that has even involved trying to bribe scientists into writing review articles distorting the facts about climate change.<br /><br />Global Warming is going on now. Russia, Canada, the US and other countries are trying to stake claims for oil which is currently under Arctic ice sheets that keep getting thinner and thinner. The predicted increase in brushfires in Mediterranean climates is already a fact of life.<br /><br />Climate change doesn't seem as mysterious to me as it does to some people because I followed Astronomy when I was young. One of the things I remember is that the difference in the temperature on Venus to that on Earth cannot be explained by its closer proximity to the Sun. Higher levels of CO2 in that planet's atmosphere trap heat.<br /><br />I learned about this in the 70s, before most people thought about Global Warming. One haunting thing I remember at the time was one of the reasons why it was so important to study other planets: it provides us information on what could happen to earth.libhomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05537213558568338561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12881172.post-2999081357365487472009-11-30T15:25:18.637-08:002009-11-30T15:25:18.637-08:00Tom,

Mostly just people ranting back and forth to each other; not much about science.<br /><br />But like I said, I haven't followed the story that closely.<br /><br />Al Gore definitely preaches a lot more than he practices.Tom Harperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05610417770240609022noreply@blogger.com
