#1 ...Dear Sir David:

1) Please make some movies about penguins.
2) Shut up about the climate.

#2 The sky is falling.
People who live a life of emotions and fears.
Another Al Gore.
Media darling of the day.
Another false prophet of the day.
Into the sewer of despair we go.

#5 I suspect the "signs of climate change" in China resemble out-of-control pollution from government-owned industries.

#6 Rob, you would be right.

My senior thesis was on the destruction of the environment due to the USSRs adherence to the Marxist economics (see Free Good)

No different now and Dave A would be perfectly pleased to kick out the last support of civilization. Watermelons galore.

#8 Government isn't the answer. Just see only China, the Soviet Union and even our own mine spill by our very own EPA.

And again... the weather was warmer in the past and during recorded history too. People thrived. So why is this the end?

#9 Dear Sir David:
If, in your opinion, Civilization reached its absolute apex in the Reign of Queen Victoria then you should ... sit down for a 'cuppa and realize that The War To End All Wars ended a century ago and Civilization continued on.
