Ron, I refuse to climb down from MY soapbox. (blink) A major source of methane is the gut of the termite that consumes the rotting wood of the forests being destroyed. The rain forests are supposed to harbor many species of plants and animals unknown to science that could provide pharmaceuticals yet to be discovered. While temperatures across the globe fluctuate, and the average temperature (whatever that is) has risen a degree or less over the years, I think everyone agrees the temperatures at the poles have increased 4 or 5 or more degrees in the past few generations. The effect of this can be seen in the retreat of glaciers and the destruction of Antarctic ice shelves. cnn.com A generation ago, we were all supposed to be worried about a new ice age caused by all the dust and particulates we humans were supposed to be kicking up. That was around the time of the global energy shortage. Plants do grow a little faster in high CO2 atmospheres, and that is why I think we should know how to encourage this self correcting effect. I may not be so much of a tree hugger, but I am a tree planter. The effect of the melting polar ice can be expected to raise sea levels, which worry low lying island nations such as the Seychelles. One can argue whether the world has been suffering more extreme climatic conditions the last several years which is what climatologists predict, but I have seen plots of tropic zone ocean temperatures in a study of El Nino, and it shows they seem to have risen also. I may go for a search of that this afternoon to see if it is on the Web. Volcanic emissions and other natural phenomena such as sun cycles can add complexities into the picture, but we can't count on them to bail us out in the long run. Charles
