#1 Could be theres more to this European graveyard rush than might be blamed on the environment.

Global warmening (love that!) won't mean squat if Europe doesn't start worrying a lot more about their Muslim colonists.

#2 Warmening, try "Fermenting".

#3 I'd expect our health to be less affected by pollution here in the U.S. We started cleaning up our air, water and soil at least two decades before the Europeans even thought about it. Last I heard the river water was still undrinkable (that's why they're so fond of the bottled mineral waters, and why their children have so many cavities in their teeth), the forests of Germany and the buildings of Rome were succumbing to acid rain, and Eastern Europeans peel off the outer inch of potatoes, just to be on the safe side.

As for Australia, much of it never stopped being pristine, as far as I'm aware.

#4 Tim has an update:
UPDATE. Global Eurowarmening is also causing icy mountain coldening:

Western Europes highest mountain Mont Blanc is taller than ever due to snow piled atop its summit, in what experts meeting in France described as a climate-change related phenomenon ...

The volume of ice on Mont Blancs slopes over 4,800 metres high was first calculated at 14,600 cubic metres in 2003 ... but then almost doubled to 24,100 cubic metres in 2007.

Perhaps AlGore was near?

#6 Anybody knows when is Al Goracle expiry date?

In all likelyhood, not anywhere near soon enough.

#7 Poor air and water quality, and environmental changes blamed on global warming, have cut Europeans life expectancy by nearly a year, Europes environmental agency warned Wednesday.

At this rate, life expectancy in western and central Europe will be shorter by nearly a year, it said.

Ummmm...One of these things is not like the other. How can this magical "one year cutoff" be both past and future tense (unless they've already lost a year, and they're predicting to lose another).
