The important thing to remember when talking about global warming 'alarmism' is, that there is absolutely no reason to 'panic' or 'freak out' about the environmental consequences of Global Warming if we KNOW what it is that we have to do, namely make small changes in the way we live, and realize that all of our decisions have a ripple effect on the planet and the environment. <BR/><BR/>I understand Andrew's position on the issue much better now, and we're both on the same page with regard to all that we need to do. <BR/><BR/>The most important being the last point-- Challenging power bases and thinking for yourself...<BR/><BR/>PEACE,<BR/><BR/>ScottoScott Wichmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15698019570231228339noreply@blogger.com
