| #3 What utterly amazes me in all the hype about "man made global warming" is the total lack of consideration given to naturally-occurring volcano activity. Volcanoes are rated on a scale of "O" (zero) to 8. Checking out the listing at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanic_Explosivity_Index it is easy to see that there was one Category 5 volcano is 1963 (Mt. Agun), another Category 5 in 1980 (Mt. St. Helens), another Category 5 in 1982 (Mt. El Chichon), and one Catgory 6 volcano in 1991 (Mt. Pinatubo), as well as a Category 5 volcano in 1991 (Mt. Hudson) - AND NO MAJOR VOLCANIC ACTIVITY since 1991. One Category 5 volcano puts a cubic kilometer of volcanic material into the air. A Category 6 volcano puts 10 cubic kilometers of "junk" into the air. Every time one of these volcanoes goes "bang" global temperatures drop a degree or two for a year or two (or longer). Whatever warming is ongoing will go away really quickly once the next big volcano erupts. Do the MMGW moonbats think that volcanic activity has concluded on earth? There has been only one category 7 volcano in modern times - Mt. Tambora, in 1815. That explosion put 100 cubic kilometers of volcanic material into the earth's atmosphere. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_Without_a_Summer for a discussion of what the year 1816 was like for the world's population. 16 years since the last big volcano. Methinks that we are about due for the next big event. |

| #1 Uh, oh! That just put NASA's funding in jeopardy with this Congress. |
