    I see bits and pieces of the problem in the answers of others here. I'd say yes...global warming is going on. And, yes, we are, in some way, contributing to it. Whether our contribution is greatly significant or not may still be debateable. If we hastened it by 50 years, that would be small in some sense, but a generation of people that would suffer...does that count?

    But there is more here...something I just want to mention. Do you ever listen to the talk news shows on the radio and TV? I hear a lot of time (and money) being spent, on both sides of the issue, disseminating opinions on who or what is to blame, but precious little is being spent on what we could do to survive another ice age (because that is what happens every time we go deeply enough into one of these warming cycles, or suffer some natural disaster).

    There have been ice ages in the past...some deep and cataclismic (sp), others last only a few years, and keep crops from growing. History has recorded some fairly recent small ones, such as "The Year Without A Summer" which happened when volcanoes blew their tops, such as Mt. Penetubo.

    So they do happen. Period. How can we get early detection so that we might prepare ahead and survive. Is it possible to survive? I think so. What do you think?

    All the rangling about cause is masking what might be a much more productive discussion centered upon survival. They will happen again...then what?
