Climate change happens - Can PEOPLE change quickly enough ?

As everyone is aware, there's yet another significant heat wave
in both the USA and europe. Is this 'global warming' at work or
merely a long-term trend towards more heat, just as the "little
ice age" of the 1600s was a 300 year trend toward colder temps ?
Hard to say - and it hardly matters either because it's HAPPENING
and we have to COPE with it.

While the news concentrates on dehydrated old people and big-
breasted joggers passed-out on the streets, the REAL threat is
not to people directly - but to AGRICULTURE. With about seven
billion people to feed, temperature and rainfall deviations
threaten the agricultural base which sustains them.

Just being a bit naughty... Some years ago I was skimming through
a response to a long article. Towards the end of the article the
original author had mentioned the word "paradigm". The bloke who was
replying had only added one comment: "If you're going to use the word
'paradigm' please do so at the beginning so I can stop reading."

I'm sure that bloke would really appreciate authors who put it right
up front in Subject. :-)

Cheers, Phred.
