I was jus' trying to be cute....

I saw on the weather channel last night a sattelite (sp?) image of the storm (from El Nino?) on the Pacific coast.... it is monstous!!!!!

Yikes!

Makes good sense...

>As for "global warming", I remember being taught that virtually all of Canada was once covered by one HUGE ice sheet, some say measured in kilometers (2-3). Even if I settle on 50 meters thickness, what melted that??? Was it "global warming"? I guess it was. What caused that?...Is that 'event' still on-going?

Who knows? I remember that the science texts back in high school (the 60's) taught that we were definitley entering into another ice age because of pollution.....

Probably so......

>We (collectively) are fond of tampering with mother nature,

Reminds of an old commericial on TV... "You shouldn't try to fool mother nature!! WHAM!!!)

> relying on ourselves rather than her 'systems' to address "issues" (as we perceive them). This happens all the time. I remember outcrys and actions regarding zebra mussels in the Great Lakes, purple loosetrife(sp?) in southern Canada, and several other issues of "foreign" wildlife overtaking native things. In the end nature handily addresses these things.
