I agree. One doesn't have to venture much of an opinion on such minutia in
order to get a heated response.

The warming may be somewhat real to some degree but it has been

by
many knowledgeable people as climate cycles (and there are many of them)
and
cycles within cycles. Sun output, orbital variations and other known
factors
have been cited but no one really knows how and why climate has changed
natuarally over the eons. Climate change is always happening.

Thank you for a little voice of reason here. You will probably get flamed
by the more emotional who have been convinced (rightly or not) that global
warming will be our demise. I say if global warming is going to put an
end
to us all then let's just go ahead and build a whole crapload of nuclear
reactors and at least breathe easier as we meet our end. Oh wait that may
reduce greenhouse emissions! Oh noooo! Then global warming might not
come
around quickly enough to be our demise.... Oh but then the nuclear waste
will kill us!

And if you copy and worward this email to everybody on your list Bill
Gates
will give you a hundred dollars!

Really this is not the place to have this discussion anyway. You see it
has
turned into a political discussion. This is a gardening group.

Just my two pennies worth, whatever it is worth. Duh, tow pennies of
course? What was I thinking?
