Re: We're all DOOMED, DOOMED I TELL YOU!!!
The debate on global warming is over ... global warming won. To try to argue that we are not responsible for the mess that we are in, or that it is some normal planetary trend is akin to arguing that the holocaust never happened. In the years I spent at university spending my time poring over the Middle Ages, I learned lots about the mini-ice age, particularly from information one can gain from the Icelandic sagas. And the general warming trend that one can see revealed in the expansion of land under cultivation in Western Europe. But what is happening now is different. Prehistoric ice masses, the Ellesmeer in particular I believe, are breaking up. Innuit people, who have an oral tradition going back thousands of years, are telling those who are willing to listen that immense, unprecedented changes are taking place. The discussion is over. Now is the time to act.
