I live about 60 miles south of Lake Erie, in farmland that about 15,000 years ago was in the Lake.

This is odd, because GW is likely to lead to sea level rises of very modest amounts in the coming years - about a centimeter per year per IPCC. Like the bogus idea that polar bears are diminishing this sounds to me like another fake catasatrophe used in lieu of the real facts based on IPCC, which indicate modest changes and not catastrophic ones. For all the talk of straw men by GW folks I'd like to see people stick to the science, which by no means calls for the catastrophes that are used to whip up hysteria. I've given up on assigning much credibility to headlines like this because they seem designed more to spur people to action than to add to understanding. Shame on you for that approach.

Why should individuals take unilateral actions that will not solve the problem? I and others have been very clear that we need mandatory national controls. A very lame straw man, I must say. You can do better. Sorry, Ron, not half, maybe 1 in a 1000.

Until you are ready to take that kind of stand on life your actions are hypocritical. It is also hypocritical to not also publish that this is a highly debated topic where half of the scientific community theorizes that the earth is going through a normal cycle and the average temperature is merely a result of this.
