One question, it seems like you believe Al Gore explicitly, do you believe in "Man-Bear-Pig"?
As the temperatures increase on the Earth at almost identical rates to that on mars, I believe these increased temperatures that started people believing in Global Warming is caused be a long period of increased solar activity, not man. There is no way in hell, my gas guzzling Suburban is causing global warming on mars.

Also, the increased solar activity we did have seems to be over and we are starting a period with very little solar activity, so temps will cool more over the next 10 years or so.
*Global temperature shifts caused by solar activity does exist.
*Man made Global Warming and "Man-Bear-Pig" do not exist.
(for those that do not know of Man-Bear-Pig, he is a mythical creature that Al Gore made up and flipped out over on several episodes of South Park.)
As for Korea, the reason South Korea hasn't done anything is not because of the threat of Nukes. South Korea isn't intent on taking over or doing anything much with North Korea, but peacefully coexisting. The North however, has made claims and acted in ways that definitely indicate they would like to unite into one communist Korea.
And with their "successful" missile test (not a rocket for satellite) they show they are definitely developing a viable delivery platform with intentions or ranges of the west coast.
Even as it stands with the missiles they have they can easily hit any of our many bases in Japan or Korea. Although ! don't really believe military targets are likely, as they get more bang for the buck, wiping out a major city or 2 with lots of civilian casualties. The handling of North Korea is one of the Big issues I had/have with Bush.
I see North Korea using a hornets nest tactic, like a kid with a group of friends around him who hits a hornets nest with a stick and then runs away. In the confusion, he may get a few stings, but his buddies get a great many.
They are definitely a country we should keep an eye on, like Pakistan and Iran.
Just a few thoughts.......
