What, you haven't figured out that 60 Minutes has really changed its name to "Bash Bush?" <ggg> Don't know how a nice piece got in there at the end. lol!

The thing I found amazing about the global warming issue was that in spite of sounding the alarm, they suggested NO solutions! It is great to be for a concept, but if it is serious then let's talk turkey about solutions: ban SUVs and limit cars to one per household, mandate replacement of coal, natural gas and oil fired power plants with nuclear plants and tax living space over 500 square foot per person as wasteful from a heating perspective. Without some kind of real discussion of the requisite sacrifices needed to stop our contribution to the global greenhouse gas issue one is left with a piece that just made us feel bad about being Americans and prosperous. After all real solutions need to be global solutions. Can you tell me that China and India are doing their part to curb greenhouse gases? Then again, on other shows I have heard experts say that it is too late now anyway, little man can do with present technology to reverse the situation quickly as it the time needed to act is too short, the problem is too vast and there is no technology to scrub the atomosphere.

But if you want an interesting example of 'man' trying to effect climate change, one should go look at the government of the United Arab Emirates! They have gone out into the desert and planted thousands of tree, kept alive by drip irrigation as a process designed to change the heat/moisture relationships and try to effect a micro-climate change! Whodudathunkit? <ggg>
