Kathy,
The rest of the population of the globe recognizes this
fact. I believe it marks the end of our pivotal place in history.
Like Nero fiddling while Rome burns. Oil is our Soma. Oh Brave New
World!

Frank,
May I point you to Thomas Friedman's book "Hot, Flat, and Crowded".
He explains that global warming doesn't result in necessarily warmer
weather, although the mean temperatures have risen, as so much
"wacky" weather. And, Lord knows, we've seen a lot of that in the
past few years.
