Skippy,
Truth be told, I had not a drop to drink, nor any other mind altering substance. I got some ideas from all the divergent stuff going on in the thread and tried to turn it into something having to do with a groundhog.

at least it was entertaining. should have been named 'potpourri' since it contained a bit of many things. we did go off on several tangents.

Though frankly, I think it's too late. So long to polar bears, hello to yearly Katrinas and Wyoming beaches.

I knew at one point this thread was about Global Warming....

We have in fact had ice ages end multiple times long before the industrial revolution so your statement that the earth has warmed and cooled many, many times before the industrial revolution is correct. The argument that how much humans are contributing to the current warming is pretty much unsolvable anad unfortunately will just be turned into another politcal issue. And I do remember well the 70s after the multiple frigid winters in the eastern half of the nation that the talk was indeed we were headed toward another ice age perhaps. Because there are occurrences of CO2 levels going up in the past, makes it really tough to determine now what really is going on.

heard some blurbs from a guy who has been a climatologist in canada for decades, out of university of winnipeg. he says global warming as it's 'taught' now is incorrect, that it isn't from humans and co2 emissions....and yeah, i remember the ice age talk from 30 years ago. and now the u.n. report has come out saying whatever humans do, or don't do, that global warming will continue.

I couldn't possibly make this up.

Randall,
I'm with you too. I just have to stop feeding so many beans to my pet dinosaur.
It doesn't like going outside in the cold, and frankly, the house is starting to stink up bad.
I'm running out of candles.
