I think God has spared us a cold winter so those Arabs and US oil companies don't get even richer at our expense.
Either that or Global warming is really upon us.  |

Larry:
Not sure about Global warming. What I do know is that it's feb 2nd and I have spent aver $1100 on oil so far this Winter and it has been mild. if we go into the deep freeze this month I expect to be over $2000 this Winter to heat my house. I burn wood also but not as much nor as efficiently as I should.
I took out my wood stoves because the insurance company wanted to raise my home owner insurance rates. I may have to put one back in. It's still in the garage and would work fine.

Piemma...how big is your house? Is it insulated? I have used almost a full tank at my house since I moved in August 31st....I think that is pretty good! I would put the stove back in!

It's about 2300 sq.ft. Well insulated but I live in the NW corner of RI. 710 ft elevation and about 10 degrees colder than Prov RI, on average. I'm not burning more oil...just spending more per gallon. Got a deliver Friday. $2.59 a gal for #2 fuel oil.
Friggin' ridiculous

Interesting... there are alot of people with this sentiment...
I do believe that climate change is occuring, and there is the very distinct possibility that we are the cause of this. How much of it is natural variability still isnt clear in my mind.
Regardless. I think it is foolish for us as a society to not prepare for the possibility that these changes are coming/here and are permenant.
The fact that 5 previous EPA heads believe it, while this administration ignores it blows my mind..... |

You can debate the causes for Global Warming, but to ignore it and not prepare for coming changes to our way of life (like we all aren't) is beyond foolish.
The Administration by not even engaging in the Global discussion is doing great harm to our children's future. Clinton was in a position to do more, and should have...but that's last years news.
When blowhards like Rush Limbaugh proclaim that "God created the Earth so Man can't destroy it" I really can't believe what I'm hearing.

OK; I'm not about to defend that right wing whack job.. but...
having an education in Geology, you begin to appreciate the time scales at work... if every nuke was launched today, as a species we'd be gone... but in a million or so years.. check back... it'd be a different planet, but the Earth would still be there... there just would be a noticable lack of Homo sapiens...... |

Yea, but that's not his point.
The religious argument is that man isn't going to do such damage as to make the Earth inhospitable...and even if we do it's all moot when rapture happens...

I understand...
thats why I said I wasnt trying to defend him...
thank you for making it clear....
Skip.. spoken like someone who doesnt believe global warming without understanding it... there is alot of evidence that while the worldwide global temperature will rise, some areas may get colder...
again, though looking at one year is not global warming, you need to look over decades and centuries of trends.....
