ADVERTISEMENT It reported the record net income -- $39.5 billion -- despite a 4 percent drop in earnings in the final three months of 2006, as prices for oil and natural gas fell from extraordinary levels earlier in the year.

It's obvious the climate change folks ignored the increased evaporation rate, subsequent cooling from thermal effects, and resulting increased cloud cover occluding light, thus reducing temperature still further. So this mediation effect would kick in and stabilize the whole thing. Wild temperature swings are out. It is a proven fact too that increased sea water area from ice melting would act as a temperature stabilizer as well. Besides after all this time it boils, (sorry) down to a 0.8 degree temperature increase in 100 years. To get an idea how drastic this is, go to your wall thermostat and turn it up one degree. Take off all your clothes. See if you notice any difference. You may exaggerate if you wish. Besides did anyone notice that we are getting further and further from the sun? (Or is it farther and farther?) That and reduced solar radiation over time is bound to even things out in the long run. Send cheque to address in profile. EC<:-}
