What the Singer interview failed to mention were the unintended side effects of global warming, including more and prolonged stormy periods, together with extremes of rain and/or drought. Slightly higher sea water temperatures, moreover, are thought to be connected with the deterioration of coral reefs, which in turn can affect the ocean food chain.

Now for the really bad news. I understand that Martha Stewart must wear an ankle bracelet that monitors her movements to assure that she doesn't leave her mansion in suburban New York. This ankle bracelet, I am told, does NOT use CDMA technology. You'd think that for a person as important as Martha, they would have installed OmniTRACS.

The underlying principle to the whole business is that all the fossil hydrocarbons and coal used to be alive and kicking. They have gradually been stripped out of the atmosphere and buried permanently [until people came along]. Earth is being returned to its natural lively state, before the ice age began due to lack of carbon in the biosphere.

We've been here before Maurice. Turn back the clock to when the Earth was young, rich in CO2, and low in that nasty pollutant, O2. We'd not have to worry about the climate, we'd suffocate in minutes. Good for plants though.
