<<Scientist predicts 'mini Ice Age'
ST. PETERSBURG, Russia, Feb. 7 (UPI) -- A Russian astronomer has predicted that Earth will experience a "mini Ice Age" in the middle of this century, caused by low solar activity.>>

This is what a columnist wrote in our local paper Sunday-

((Global warming

The federal government recently reported 2005 was the warmest year on record since the late 1800s when accurate data began being recorded. Last year broke the record set in 1998.

Over the past 30 years, Earth has warmed about 1 degree. Temperatures like these have not been seen in 10,000 years. Officials blame greenhouse gases. Please forward the report to the White House. Maybe someone there will finally get the idea.

Why does an outdoor column concern itself with global warming? Simply this -- all life on the planet is adapted to temperature ranges. Alter that and you alter everything we care about.))

Same as 10,000 years ago, planet's heating up fast isn't it?

That temperature range that might change by one degree? Locally we have had a temperature range of about 130 degrees between summer and winter. One degree might not kill all the flora and fauna around here. But I did a test this morning, went out naked and stood in the yard, 18 degrees. Brr. When it warmed to 19 degrees I almost died from sweating.
