Here's what I think is funny. Obama has been president for 50 days but it's his fault. Same way the depression wasn't Herbert Hoover's fault, it was Roosevelt's fault. and the other parallel is there were probably people in 1929/1930 who were skeptical of mankind's ability to alter the ecology of the world in disasterous ways: that might make the stock crash/depression way worse. You know the flag of Lebanon is a Cypress Tree. That whole area used to be covered in trees. The Romans used trees to make charcoal to make cement out of limestone.

They are scientists at NASA not bureaucrats. my son's computer engineering Professors say there is no MMGW. They right the software for the climate models. DODGING DEBATE "Once again Al Gore has ducked the chance to debate critics of his global warming doomsday predictions," John Fund writes at www.opinionjournal.com. "The former vice president loves to lecture others on the need to address global warming, but usually insists on appearing alone and largely unchallenged at conferences," Mr. Fund said. "At the Wall Street Journal's ECO:nomics conference in Santa Barbara, Calif., Mr. Gore was initially scheduled to appear with Czech President Vaclav Klaus, a noted skeptic on global warming. Mr. Gore changed his schedule so he could appear the previous day. President Klaus told me this week that the major reason he agreed to travel from Europe was the chance to interact with Mr. Gore. 'I don't understand all of this reluctance to engage with others,' he told me. "Sounds to me like a case of bologna rejecting the grinder. Mr. Gore knows that the science backing up his calls for dramatic reduction of carbon emissions is increasingly shaky and that even adopting the Kyoto targets for such reductions would do little to address the accumulation of atmospheric carbon dioxide. "Several other critics of Mr. Gore also tried to interact with him at the conference - with little success. Willie Soon, an astrophysicist at Harvard, asked Mr. Gore during the Q-and-A period what exactly he was trying to accomplish in practical terms with his proposals. Mr. Gore ignored the substance of the question and snidely said he was trying to save humanity."
