A LOOK AT THE ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES AND "GLOBAL WARMING" intellicast.com; Tim, Dr. Dewpoint makes some interesting observations and suggests that his theories may or may not be the reason for the changes in the size of the polar ice caps and thinning glaciers. He doesn't agree with the EPA as to what the cause is but the good news is that he does confirm there is a problem..........changes are occurring that may or may not be natural. And that seems to be the belief of most people even if they don't agree on the cause. We know that nitrogen is a good additive for plants, primarily when a plant is in its early stages of growth. However, if you give a plant, say a tomato plant, nitrogen 24/7, the plant becomes very green and healthy looking, but rarely produces flowers and fruit. If you continue with the nitrogen, the plant eventually becomes over extenuated. Slight changes in a plant's nutrition can change it from a green plant that bears fruit to one that is simply a healthy green plant to one that is an unhealthy green plant. How many people do you know who have a killed a plant? All they had to do is water it and it should grow.....right? WRONG! They water it, they give it light, they even feed it food additives and its dead within three months. My point is the life we see around us is not haphazard or accidental even if it looks that way. There is a rhythm and balance to it and it can stand only so much imbalance before there is a problem. Our glaciers are melting, our polar icecaps are shrinking in most places, our seas are rising. There is most likely something wrong whether you think the cause is global warming or something else. Why fukk around..........we know spewing greenhouse gases into the air has been the norm only for a little over a hundred years. After a hundred years, we are starting to see changes that don't look good. I am not going to wait for the doubting thomases to get their act together. Its been my experience in life that I usually see trouble looming before most people do, and so I am not about to wait for the rest of the world to get it. There are changes that can be made to stop the problem and I will continue to push for those changes. ted
