After all that is only a small part of the Earth, and we are so powerful and control our environment! The bad news for GW is that the steam that would be produced is much worse than CO2 as a GHG. Sure we can have an effect on anything including continenetal drift, the Earth's rotation, and we can even change the amount of H2O by filling and sending rockets into space. There's a significant difference between having "an effect" and having "a significant effect". |

what do you guys think about the news stated a few posts back on here regarding the apparent fact that the sun is heating us up more than the past? That really has a caveat on it, because, by the past how far back do we go for this "upward trend in the sun warming our Milky Way up?" The last 5 years? The last 10 years? When will it end? Armageddon?

Well this is really not new news at all. It has been know for quite while. (for me since grammar school 52 years ago) It is news in that it has been ignored in the computations and probably only now being once again acknowledged? What else does the scientific community know about this, I spose I could Google it, but what does this mean for a padre living in SE Arizona working in the medical community? OK, let's think practically for starters. Remember to wear your sun-block and use a 45 blocking formula instead of only 25-35, for better blockage. Just to sort of get this thing "moving" a little bit.

A Fiery Czech Is Poised to Be the Face of Europe Decades later, Mr. Klaus, the 67-year-old president of the Czech Republic — an iconoclast with a perfectly clipped mustache — continues to provoke strong reactions. He has blamed what he calls the misguided fight against global warming for contributing to the international financial crisis, branded Al Gore an “apostle of arrogance” for his role in that fight, and accused the European Union of acting like a Communist state. As a former finance minister and prime minister, he is credited with presiding over the peaceful 1993 split of Czechoslovakia into two states and helping to transform the Czech Republic into one of the former Soviet bloc’s most successful economies. But his ideas about governance are out of step with many of the European Union nations that his country will lead starting Jan. 1. While even many of the world’s most ardent free marketeers acknowledged the need for the recent coordinated bailout of European banks, Mr. Klaus lambasted it as irresponsible protectionism. He blamed too much — rather than too little — regulation for the crisis. A fervent critic of the environmental movement, he has called global warming a dangerous “myth,” arguing that the fight against climate change threatens economic growth. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/25/world/europe/25klaus.html?_r=1 I think I will like this guy.
