Do you mean besides making Al Gore a lot of money? Actually, it's done nothing that I can see. BTW, people get caught in confusing Global Warming with regional climatic anomalies. According to a report on TV last night - but who can trust the media and the scientists, right? - the average 50 state temperature in the U.S. has only risen 2 degrees (F) above normal. If that is true, I don't call that something to get excited about. Especially when it cold quite possibly be part of the 20 year climatic cycle which has more validity to it than Al Gore's attempt at literature.

Less snow to shovel, or plow, longer growing season. My issue, is whether man has as much effect as claimed, or this is a natural if not cosmic event that occurs every so often (one theory for the ice ages was the rotation of the whole solar system through the galaxy involving certain conditions) or possibly sun-caused. Man made conditions there is some (depending on cooperation of all nations-yeah right!) chance of man reversing them. Otherwise we need to quit playing games and admit all we can do is adapt as best we can and reduce pollution as much as possible while finding viable ways to cope with climate change. I've been reading through a stack of old International and National Wildlife magazines dating back to 1970 that are full of all kinds of alarmist and dire predictions of what would happen in the next 20 or 30 years, none of it did, if anything nature pulled a few tricks of better adapting than humans did and proved everyone wrong.

It was 70 today in Memphis. The sun was out it was beautiful. The forecast calls for highs in the upper 50's to lower 60's for the next 10 days. Apparently using all of that Right Guard and Aquanet back in the 80's has finally paid off.
