Subj : "Global warming" To : All From : Rachel L. Akers Date : Fri Mar 30 2001 11:46 pm Greetings All, I found an interesting comment in today Occult Chat mail. The insistance that Global warming was unproven & the claim it's a paganized view of the planet. I don't know what is shown on the ijiot box on the other side of the pond but over here Global Warming is a real _&_ documentable problem. I've been through one drought there I spent 3 years luging bath water to the laundry then to the garden because of restrictions. Oz has had more droughts in the past 50 years than in it's documentable history (including geological). & then there's the documentable problem experienced by many low lying nations. Some island nations who have to daily ship fresh water to inhabited islands for the past 5 years because the raising sea water level has ruined the drinkable water on the islands. They are so deperately trying to save their homes from a loosing battle. Oh ... Sorry but isn't this another form of land stealing? If I had one crystal ball moment it'd be to see the reactions of today's myiopic ijiots who think Global warming is some pagan/hippy/(etc) plot. (Especially those who think pollution stops at the country's borders) I'd love to see their bitching when these people's homes are 6 feet underwater & how the "Developed" nations cope with entire nations of refugees. I bet 'ittle olde W Bush would be the first amongst those complaining. Australia isn't fantastic about it but atleast it does honor the Kyoto agreements. --- Msged/2 4.00 * Origin: Elfwhere - The POINTy eared POINT (3:640/531.2379) .
