It's hard to imagine polticians around the world uniting to do something about global warming. Would it be the intelligent, sane, reasonable and really really obvious thing to do? I'm pretty sure...<BR/><BR/>But then you could say the same thing for letting the general public in on the deal with global warming ten or fifteen years ago, when most credible scientists already thought it was probably happening and that the earlier we put on the brakes the better.<BR/><BR/>Instead the money motive lead the polluters via their influence with the politicians to distort the facts.<BR/><BR/>We're supposed to be an intelligent life form so it would be a real bummer if it turns out we're too stupid live. Maybe that's why the SETI project, if I'm remembering the name right, isn't picking up any signals yet from intelligent life elsewhere in the universe. They're adopting a wait and see attitude, not quite sure if we're right for joining their club...Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14770384445526387065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10526479.post-64275140528286737322007-04-10T10:12:00.000-04:002007-04-10T10:12:00.000-04:00I've got about $3 in my pocket.
