Just one last word about global warming before we put this to bed. Most of you are too young to remember this but back in the early 70's the scientists were warning us of the ice age we were going into. The evidence was the ever shortening growing seasons most noticable in the northern climes. Russia in the 30's had opened up huge collective farms in their north in a time of global warming trend. Every thing was fine until the 60's and 70's when the growing season got too short and crops started failing year after year requiring them to buy vast amounts of wheat from Canada. It was also felt in the Peace River district (northern Alberta) in Canada when the ever shortening growing season caused loss of wheat production. World starvation was just around the corner as Canada, the breadbasket of the world would not have the production it once had.
Fast forward to 21st century and we now have global warming. Temperature swings have always been a part of our world with minor swings every 60 years or so, bigger swings every 500 years or so. When the Vikings populated Iceland, Greenland, and Vineland (Newfoundland) the world was very much warmer than it is now. The last ice age was 14,000 years ago and they have come and gone many. Alligator fossils have been found in Greenland an animal that only exists in warm swampy climate.
Should we be recycling, stop spewing poison into the air and water? Sure, of course we should but nothing we do is going to stop the natural ebb and flow of climate change that has happened since as far back as or science can see. So to all the Chicken Littles of the world stop trying to tell us the sky is falling in and we have to majorly affect the world economies or we'll all be destoyed.
