Maurice, I'll bite. The Earth's climate has changed without our intervention before. That's no reason not to worry that we are changing it now. Recent research suggests that the last ice age may have ended in just a few years. www4.nationalacademies.org . It's quite possible the warming we are inducing could take us back to another ice age. The Earth's climate seems to have multiple quasi-stable equilibria; who knows where we'll end up if we leave the quasi-equilibrium we've been in for 11 000 years? We're returning carbon to the biosphere that was sequestered millions of years ago. No one besides you, Maurice, claims to know the effect of this experiment. Perhaps you're right, and releasing the carbon will restore things to how they were. That might be worse than another ice age. We evolved after the carbon and hydrocarbons were laid down. Be careful what you wish.

Maurice, And perhaps the warming is exogenus. NEW YORK Even Mars, it seems, may be in the throes of global climate change. Photographs of the planet's south polar ice cap, taken by a spacecraft in 1999 and again this year, have revealed a marked erosion of the year-round reservoir of solid carbon dioxide there, scientists reported Friday in the journal Science. iht.com The humor is the pseudo-scientists at globalwarning.com posted this article without being able to draw the obvious conclusion, the sun might be putting out a bit more energy.

An "icky" body piercing / symptoms of a brain abscess story. December 14, 2001 Yale MD Links Piercing to Abscess By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 12:05 a.m. ET NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) -- Yale medical officials say they have linked a woman's brain abscess to her tongue piercing. The woman, in her mid-20s, developed symptoms of a brain abscess 18 months ago after removing a stud from her infected tongue. She had difficulty walking and showed signs of clumsiness. Brain abscesses are usually caused by ear or sinus infections, and had not previously been linked to tongue piercing, said Dr. Richard Martinello, an infectious disease specialist at Yale-New Haven Hospital. ``The bacteria that caused the abscess in this patient were those typically found in persons' mouths,'' he said. The woman had brain surgery and recovered after being treated with antibiotics. Martinello said he believes tongue piecing is fairly low-risk but because it is impossible to make the mouth sterile, there is always some risk of infection. Copyright 2001 The Associated Press
