""This is bellwhether, a barometer … the warning that things are coming," says Corell" The word is bellwether. "In politics, a bellwether (often, incorrectly, bellweather or bellwhether) is a region whose political tendencies match in microcosm what occurs in a wider area. For example, a bellwether constituency in a Westminster-style election is one which tends to swings back and forth between parties, generally electing the same party as which wins the overall vote."

rickwalton.com Once upon a time there was a tiny, tiny chicken named Chicken Little. One day Chicken Little was scratching in the garden when something fell on her head. "Oh," cried Chicken Little, "the sky is falling. I must go tell the king." .......

The Bush Administration spends $5 billion a year on climate change research, but the president refuses to sign a treaty to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. What a moronic statement. So did the Senate 95-0 and the Clinton administration. Besides, signing Kyoto wouldn't have reduced a thing. Except the ink in some feel good lefties pen.

It's funny. The more critics fight to say this isn't man-made, the more scientists pursue better data to say that it was. Talk about unintended consequences.

Contrary to popular myth, the world doesn't have a balance. <"The entire planet is out of balance." > It has been, for a billion years, on a one way trip to frozen. Carbon has been stripped out and deposited in megagraves of limestone, coal, oil and gas. Ice ages have arrived and increase due to the lack of CO2 and a thinner atmosphere than 300 million years ago. They go on about the last 100,000 years. That's nothing. They need to look at conditions over the last 500 million years. Meanwhile, hilariously, all the tree planting has been producing methane, which is much worse than the CO2 which the trees absorb, but for which the growers get carbon credits which they can sell. Typical government ignorant botch up. Find a "problem" then do the opposite of what will fix it. Mqurice
