What did you find particularly unpersuasive? That 2006 didn't have a lot of hurricanes? The effects aren't necessarily linear. Polar bears are drowning for the first time so much ice has melted, and the resulting water is now absorbing sun instead of reflecting it the way ice does. The ice shelf in the Antarctic that was predicted to take 100 years to melt melted in 35 days. Point after point after point and it's unconvincing. Boy, you are a good Republican. Personally, I'm kind of curious myself to see how it goes. I've been more attentive to the Weather Channel's averages, even though I know that small scale changes are meaningless. Even so, we're about 5 degrees above average today. > [Original Message] > From: Paul Stone <pas@xxxxxxxxx> > To: <lit-ideas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Date: 11/27/2006 11:10:51 PM > Subject: [lit-ideas] Re: book nausea > > At 10:37 PM 11/27/2006, you wrote: > > > > I'm still kind of reeling over the Al Gore movie.
