A word of CAUTION...there is NO proof..

..Just as the the 1980's environmentalists strode around our places of work, shopping malls and media outlets...

..telling us to save paper so that we would save the RAINFOREST... but the Rainforest is actually made up primarily of a source of HARDWOOD tree (teak & mahogany) to make furniture/boats etc and is not a source of SOFTWOOD tree (pine & spruce) for paper manufacture... so saving paper NEVER saved a single Rainforest tree... (OK its a geographical fact - there are NO pine or spruce "rainforests" - definition of a rainforest is that it "rains" there (nearly) every day and is on the equatorial region).

...now anytime we get a heat wave or a hurricane or a heavy down pour or even a spell of excessive cold weather...so environmentalist comes out and tell us its all down to "GLOBAL Warming"...

I very much doubt there is any PROOF, beyond speculation, that there is any linkage with these weather conditions at all...

THAT does NOT mean that we should NOT be wary about the problems of the "ENERGY CRISIS" the world may face in the not too distant future.

Whether we like it or not we USE too much fossil fuels (stories appearing that say its NOT from fossil sources are pure bunk).

Whilst we may have the ARMED FORCES to subjugate those countries, who have fossil fuel reserves (eg Iraq Iran), for our own gain. In the long term (20 years) we will p0ay the price for our aggression. And we still will not have solved the "ENERGY CRISIS"...

A more FRUITFUL strategy would be to TURN to renewable energy & energy conservation.. hell there are loads of deserts out there with only sun coming down on them. Join forces with other countries to make these deserts into some sort of CO2 absorbing, energy production facility based on some sort of VEGETATION.

If you can mount AIRSTRIKES & INVASION on IRAQ then you can put life into the Sahara desert.

CO2 absorbed will reduce global warming and the vegetable matter can replace oil/gas/coal. You newver know we may even be able to fill the old mines & well back up with stuff to put the CO2 back into the ground.
