The biggest problem is that it is impossible to predict the weather 100% accurately for next Tuesday, much less 20-30 years down the road. Man is not strong enough to influence nature for a long period of time. How many "earthquake proof" buildings have been built, only to be destroyed in the next earthquake. Temperature measurements are taken in built up areas. Guess what? In built up areas, you have lots of concrete and glass structures that affect the LOCAL temperature. I'm going to say something that will probably get me kicked off this list. I don't give a rat's ass anymore. I'm just sick and tired of all you liberal idiots out there who think the solutions to all the world's problems is to tax it. All those idiots out there who move to this country then bitch about it. Go back to Turkey or Iran or whereever the hell you are from. I'm all for racial profiling. The TSA needs to screen the Middle Eastern looking men more than they need to harrass a Medal of Honor winner. David R -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "Dr. Alastair T.
