Sorry, Bryon
but you can't just make comments like that and then expect the discussion to be "cut off". Just take one indisputable fact that should be of huge concern to all humans, and sailors first and foremost: the changing ph balance of the world's oceans. They are becoming more acidic, due to increased absorbtion of of CO2, which forms carbonic acid in the oceans. This, along with warmer waters, is causing the world's coral reefs to bleach and die. It is also threatening the ocean's population of microscopic shell fish, whose shells are literally disolving. No, Byron, this is not just some trend that reoccurs every so often. Our children and our grandchildren will be demanding answers of us. They will be wanting to know why we stood by and allowed this to happen, why we helped create such a huge mess that they now have to deal with. Claiming that we did not know will cut no ice with them. By the way, there hare dozens of books that completely demolish every single argument that the deniers put forward. They are easily available. There are also very good websites such as realclimate.org, that also demolish these arguments. And it is no accident that almost every single one of the "scientists" who deny the reality of human caused global warming is paid by the oil and coal companies. It's just like the "scientists" back in the 50s who denied that cigaretter smoking caused cancer - while they were taking money from the tobacco industry. As far as the rain: I love it! The more the better; it's an agent of life. The only problem is that my dogs don't want to go out to do their business - even my lab mix who loves to swim.
PS: would like to trade you 50 sunny days for 50 rainny ones..
