Sure, but this phenomenon is natural and cyclical over long periods of time... in the 60's there was talk about the coming ice age because global temperatures were below normal... now, temperatures are above normal so we're whining about global warming... yes, it's all part of a long term natural process, and soon enough we'll see temperature cool down and we won't hear any more about global warming... but, to blame it on Bush, as some do, or to blame it on the SUV, as others do, is completely short sighted and absurd...

The cost of natural disasters exceeded $225 billion in 2005, up from the previous record of $118 billion in 2004, according to reinsurance giant Swiss Re. A Swiss Re executive is quoted in the report as saying, "Global warming has accelerated from a problem that might affect our grandchildren, to one that could significantly disturb the social and economic conditions of our lifetime."
