I think no one REALLY cares about the climate, until your own butt are targetted by mother nature...

But its causes -- and therefore its solutions -- are more complex than most people seem to realize.

Science around the climate makes it clear, but it's incapable to solve the conflicts of interests, politics.

 So says astronomer Hugh Ross, founder and president of the premiere 
 science-faith think tank Reasons To Believe (<A title="http://www.reasons.org/" href="http://www.reasons.org/">www.reasons.org</A>). 
 "We tend to think Earth's climate will always be optimal for human civilization 
 if we just take better care of it. But nothing could be further from the 
 truth,"</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.reasons.org/resources/in_the_news/20061218_global_warming.shtml"><P>
 Ross explains, "Ice and sediment cores show that over the past four million 
 years, the global climate has oscillated many times. The changes are caused by 
 variations in Earth's orbit. Each cycle lasts about 100,000 years with an ice 
 age typically taking up 90,000 of those years, and a global warming effect, the 
 other 10,000 years."</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.reasons.org/resources/in_the_news/20061218_global_warming.shtml">
 "While politicians and activists focus on the effects of fossil fuel burning," 
 says Dr. Zweerink, "the breeding and domestication of cows and cultivation of 
 rice, for example, actually does more harm than driving too many SUV's."</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/90FBECB0-2DD0-4174-8C70-BF40AFC3FC2E/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
