Not when the 'answers' cost too much for average people.<BR/><BR/>And why Canada exports its garbage to Michigan...<BR/><BR/>Don't get me started on why our state government let THAT happen. And how it will take years to remedy. <BR/><BR/>Yes, Al is starting something good.<BR/><BR/>But, pretty much the only men in government that I trust are the dead ones.<BR/><BR/>(i miss jerry ford.)<BR/><BR/>Oh, this girl's in a bitchy mood...<BR/><BR/>JudyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-1168272079585648732007-01-08T11:01:00.000-05:002007-01-08T11:01:00.000-05:00El Nino has made its presence known even here in ...El Nino has made its presence known even here in the prairies. Yes.. I too wonder what may have been if the election had taken a more positive turn for Gore. I have heard it said that things happen for a reason.. but in such a close election race and now looking back with 20/20 vision.. I neither see the reason nor the rational.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-1168266078876180462007-01-08T09:21:00.000-05:002007-01-08T09:21:00.000-05:00Judy: I wonder why it matters; it's not exactly li...Judy: I wonder why it matters; it's not exactly like he's the only guy saying this. The majority of scientists are saying the same thing.<BR/><BR/>But here's the answer anyway.<BR/><BR/>From Spiegel<BR/><BR/>SPIEGEL: Mr. Gore, what kind of car do you drive?<BR/><BR/>Gore: About a year ago we bought a hybrid, but I don't drive very much. We've changed our entire lifestyle. We made the decision to be carbon-neutral and eliminate any net CO2 contribution to the environment. Even "An Inconvenient Truth" was produced in part using carbon-neutral, alternative energies. Paramount also made the decision to ensure that the tour and the promotional activities would be done in a carbon-neutral way.Anvilcloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974744042579564912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-1168263286824701622007-01-08T08:34:00.000-05:002007-01-08T08:34:00.000-05:00No El Nino evidence out this way.

Thoreau is smiling. :)<BR/><BR/>As for the global warming, it is interesting that Fox News has been propagandizing in overtime to make sure the idea is squashed, that it is El Nino responsible for the climate changes, not global warming. <BR/><BR/>Horse hockey, as they say. <BR/><BR/>Here in Northern California, we've barely gotten enough rain to make the streets wet, let alone sufficient rain to stock up for the summer. <BR/><BR/>And I agree with others.

I think of that so often as I watch the world turn against us...and rightly so. It makes me sick to think of all our administration has done...and ashamed. The only thing I can say is that I did not vote for it.Ginniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12749133391349265563noreply@blogger.com
