As I sit here buried under snow for the third month in a row, a noticeable absence of global warming talk permeates the air. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about the environment and man's negative impact on it. I just believe there are those who, for reasons unknown, want to fill us with fear about things we cannot control. Remember bird flu, terrorism and WMD? As for hyping global warming during the worst winter in ages... good luck with that.

What Happened to Global Warming?

We have bird flu here in Egypt. The government put a ban on individuals raising chickens which resulted in the poor bringing the chickens out of site into thier homes to raise. So more people die now from direct exposure.
H5N1 will eventually cross to humans. People living with potentially infected birds makes it virtually inevitable. That's what flu does. Anyone who questions evolution of species need only look at viruses and how they mutate over generations. They become drug resistant and find other hosts in order to survive. As to how virulent it will be when it makes the move who knows.
There can't be much question that the planet is getting warmer. What's causing it is the mystery. Robert sorry about your Winter. Having lived in Chicago before our migration to the island I can remember how tiresome that type of weather can get.
Remember the good old days on the island where it didn't matter what month it was? Hmmm...what should I wear today? Shorts, zories, t-shirt, all set.
It was 80 here yesterday. Almost had to turn on the AC. Spring will be here soon!
RAC'ster, it has been extreamly cold hear in New York, and we have had record breaking snow fall amounts! Sure miss the global warming that is going on ever where else!
Hey, thank you RACaby. I told you in my pic of my front yard and cars covered with snow. I look forward to the real "global warming". We in Idaho have one thing to say to all them waco warmers..."if you ever huged a logger, you would never go back to a tree"...HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, oh, my side hurts.
