#4 Too late for this. It's already been decided that global warming is Bush's fault. No right of appeal. Kyoto's the only way to go, and besides, we'd all feel real good about it.

#7 An Engineer I worked with in Oak Ridge once asked me, when he saw I was reading "Design for a Limited Planet", "What caused the last Ice Age"? I said, "It got cold". He wouldn't talk to me for a week.

#8 Deacon, you may want to read about "Milankovitch cycles," among other things.
