Carlson Of The Day[^] Background: Philip Cooney, a White House official who had no scientific training, doctored official warnings on climate change, inserting words to qualify evidence, and deleting paragraphs which he considered to be speculative[^] PS. Eleven of the world's most influential science academies warned world leaders that the threat of global climate change "is clear and increasing" and that they must act immediately to begin addressing its causes and consequences.

Quote me as saying I was mis-quoted - Groucho Marx (1890-1977):laugh: Thanks, Karl!:-D I'm personally very concerned about global warming - if it gets any hotter here the gas lines will spontaneously ignite, and I won't be able to fry bacon every morning without cutting down a rare tree for firewood. Methane and CO2 are the primary contributors to the greenhouse gas collection, and I see two major sources that can be readily eliminated without affecting my quality of life at all. For one, most of the animal life on the planet, those responsible for exhaling CO2 willy-nilly like there's no tomorrow, reside in the oceans. I suggest that we build huge nuclear reactors using seawater as the primary working fluid and return the heated waters to the sea without secondary cooling. This would eliminate the need for oil, and cook the polluting sealife, providing a cheap source of preserved fresh food for third world countries in need of protein and not too picky about cuisine. Secondly, I'd recruit a cadre of true believersTM to spread the gospel among those who hold cattle as sacred that true divinity can only be achieved upon elevation to the next world. Properly executed, this should stir up a frenzy of holy slaughter of methane-producing cattle, immediately reducing the world's supply of this infamous greenhouse gas. Incidentally, it would also do much to reduce famine in many areas of the world where people are taught that it is better to die of scurvy while subsisting on rice, than to feast on beef and die of gout.;) "...putting all your eggs in one basket along with your bowling ball and gym clothes only gets you scrambled eggs and an extra laundry day...

Not quite. It does a nice job of eggs, but it falls just short of enough to make the bacon crispy. Maybe I can do something with mirrors to make up the difference, though.
