<< By a 44 to 17 percent margin, climatologists say that "recent global warming is a largely natural phenomenon," >> You are quick! Your response came exactly 12 seconds before I sent my original note to you. <g> I thought that your opinion was based on dogma. I stand corrected. But, OTOH, each year the deserts expand. Couple that with the cutting down of the rain forests, creating a warmer surface, and this Earth will be a hotter place, no matter what the natural variations are in the Earth cycles. But, beside global warming we also have pollution clogging our streams and lakes and oceans. There are different types of salt water fish that are no longer safe to eat due to chemical and sewerage pollution. Someone was defending the lowly dung beetle. As we turn this earth into a big turdball, the only one who will be left will be the dung beetles. The dung beetles will then evolve into intelligent creatures. And then, next will come the dung beetle deities and the dung beetle religious faith. "In the beginning god created the earth. He was lonely so he created the dung beetle in his own image, and named him Adung. He realized that Adung was lonely so he created Evedung from one of Adung's droppings. Adung and Evedung were told not to eat a dungball from the tree of knowledge. They did anyway, and god opened their eyes and they saw that they were naked. Adung took one look at Evedung and decided that he would wed a dungball instead." You know the rest of the story.
