RE:Hey ...... what happened to all this talk about ........Hey Top! Just a few things. The planet has undergone warming periods and cooling periods throughout its existence. That is why we have palm trees under the ice. The isue is that we ARE exacerbating the issue. That is a fact. If you don't believe it then check Exxon's own personal conclusions on the matter conducted in the 1970s which they had hoped to surpress in the 80s and 90s. So YES we are affecting climate. The real question is whether or not our policies in Canada make a difference when China, India, Nigeria who combined are 1/2 the world's population, continue with the status quo.
