Thanks a lot for posting that bit about the glaciers melting, Steve. Of course, there MIGHT be another reason than global warming that the weather keeps getting hotter and hotter and hotter everywhere, but I haven't heard anything convincing from the head-in-the-sand, anti-global warming camp. Nor have I heard a rational explanation of why the United States, with 8% of the world's population, has the inherent right to consume 25% of its resources, and then act extremely indignant when international agencies like the United Nations try to help solve some of the problems caused by pollution. Why do so many Americans think they own the whole world, and dominate it? I really think the irrational fear of loss of complete sovereignty that (mostly conservative and libertarian) Americans feel is at the root of why this problem is just dragging on and on and on. Who do we think we are, anyway? We are so supremely ethnocentric as a group that I am pessimistic about huge international problems ever being resolved at all.
