There are problems we can work on, they are within our reach to change and make better. There are others which we cannot do anything about and that is Mother Nature, Global Warming is part of it, and all the worrying is not going to change that. It is ludicrous for us to worry about it. Natural disasters have always happened through the centuries. If we learn how to deal with them, one by one as they occur, we will be wiser the next time around. Liane Fossland Home of Ch.

Recently our local coast was besieged by black jelly fish that have never before surfaced on the beaches and the oceanographic institute said it was probably due to warmer sea waters. Our gulf coast may be experiencing larger than normal hurricanes (now and in the future) and there are severe draughts in other parts of the globe. The whole world (except the U.S.) has expressed major concern about global warming and climate changes. Are they right? Will more weather related records be broken? All of this even effects our beloved hobby. Some airlines are not accepting dogs and the cost of gasoline prohibits a number of exhibitors from driving long distances to shows. Recent events and the possible change in weather will affect every part of our lives. How concerned should we be? > Helen Franklin > ============================================================================ > POST is Copyrighted 2005.
