Well, the kooks have tied it all together now. The UN says if it were not for SUVs and Exxon, we would all be dying in the next ice age instead of being killed by global warming. environment.independent.co.uk "If humanity were not affecting the climate, it concludes, declines in the sun's activity and increased eruptions from volcanoes – which throw huge amounts of dust in the air that screen out sunlight – would have been likely to "have produced cooling" of the planet."

"Absolute BS. " And then you turn around and say... "As an example, after I got my MScEE I added a Bachelor in Economics (banking and financing). " Which makes my point. Unless you had a really strange degree program, the Bachelor in Economics was not required, but something you chose. "Also I was in no way a singular such event, at least 10% of my fellow students took similar courses because they were ashamed of not understanding the difference between debit and credit." And, again, they chose to take said courses, it wasn't required in their degree program.
