Global warming, it seems to me, must have been going on since the glaciers started heading North from central Ohio.It has undoubtedly had some ups & downs since then,like Greenland once being green, on vinland once being warm enough to grow grapes. West Texas was once under the sea,or some one with more resources than I can imagine, planted a lot of marine fossiles around here as some kind of joke. So many GW advocates take the view that beaver dams are natural beauty at it's highest, and Hoover Dam is at best an eyesore. Man is part of nature, Frank Loyd Wright's Riverhouse is at least as beautiful as an African termite mound and probable emits much less methane. Is a Portugee Man o War more beautiful under sail than my old Irwin? It depends on your point of view. If you start with a self loathing "Man is always the problem" slant ,you probably won't be happy until man is extinct,and miss the good old days when it looked like the U.S. & the U.S.S.R. would take care of the problem once and for all. Please excuse a little rambling,but life is short, so raise the main sail, & smile. Art.
