This from a man who called into the Michael Savage radio shoe yesterday. He said he was 60 years old and had been an astronomer for 43 of those years:
"Our sun is a variable star. We've known that for years, and all the [astronomy] literature says so. When it burns hotter, Earth gets hotter, and it when it burns cooler, Earth gets cooler. Now, Earth is a pretty good chunk of rock, so when it gets warmer it retains that heat for awhile, and same thing when it gets cooler. But if you want to know why ice ages came and went even before people showed up, all you have to do is look at the solar and volcanic records. That's what tree rings show us."

Sooner or later, another looming crisis will replace so-called global warming. [It's good to remember that the earth, as all creation, is a dynamism--meaning that it is either warming or cooling but not static].
Who knows yet the next alleged pandemic, the next scare, the waiting boogeyman (person?)? Whatever happened to the asteriod shield (Dan Quayle et al) and the soon to crash comet?
Whence population explosions resulting in a billion deaths or oil depletion?
How is it that we cannot see the inherent threats in bio-technology, but worry about a natural phenomenon?
