<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As those bogs deteriorate we will learn so much
more about the what the last ice age covered. I would think that the researchers
would be out there in droves finding all the stuff that got covered. Isn't this
near or in the area where they have found tropical forests. While the changes in
our climate are going to require changes in our lives the knowledge we will gain
is going to be enormous. If one is truly into investigation of the earth and not
just wanting everything to stay the same on a spinning, changing planet. I will
be moving to where the weather is much the same as it here during my lifetime.
Who knows it may well be Indonesia!</FONT></DIV>

warming? Just a questionable theory, like evolution! There are too
many gaps in the fossil record to really say for sure for the heck
happened! And don't forget, how do you explain the "evolution" of a
complex molecule like DNA? Those silly scientists! And the "law of
gravity," also, just a theory, supported by sampling a very small percentage
of all the possible samples of matter in the billions of light years of volume
and billions of years of time passed in our universe...Well, that is, unless
the universe popped into existence just a few thousand years ago, which is
entirely "possible," with all memories and evidence to indicate otherwise just
a fantastic trick to test our faith. That's what those pre-homo sapien
sapien hominid remains (my "mother" Lucy!) from millions of years ago are
there for, correct? <BR><BR><A

do these elitist scientists know, anyway? Why, they have no "absolute
proof" that suddenly gravity will not suddenly weaken, that evolution resulted
in human intelligence, nor that the Earth will not soon become colder, making
a fool of those who think the best scientific evidence indicates major climate
change will likely kick humanity's ass in the next century or two, caused in
large part by human activity.<BR><BR>I hope "intelligent design" is true, in
some sense. Then perhaps whatever or whoever is behind "intelligent
design" can now induce the advent of "intelligence" on Earth. As implied
by the comedy act once done by Tily Tomlin, "The Search for Signs of
Intelligent Life in the Universe," whether "intelligence" exists seems open to
question. Current human responses from the most powerful in the bastions
of political/economic/ideological hegemony to the coming crisis caused
by melting ice raising ocean levels appears to indicate minds ruled by
instinctual short sighted immediate gain, a characteristic of "lower" life
forms, rather than leaving behind a better world for future generations not
yet born.<BR><BR>Now, on to my fire breathing CO2 belching dragon (usually
referred to as a "car") to be a good American consumer!<BR><BR>"Damn the
