I'm not sure that anyone has calculated the albedo effect for land areas
being covered in snow where they were not before. The funny thing with
water is that a couple of degrees can make the difference between rain
and snow. Since snow reflects light and heat back out into space instead
of absorbing it, this could go some distance towards regulating the
global temperature, keeping the average increase lower at the expense of
making some regions colder. It just sucks if that happens to be my
region that gets the cold treatment. We really need to learn how to
package the cold up and ship it places where they really need it.

Evelyn - that was a good article. I've read about the effect before, but I
couldn't figure out how to write it coherently- which this author did.

C'mon, ladies; it's been explained to us right here several times that
warming can't make it cold!

Energy is completely politicized everywhere. Trillions of dollars at

Yes, of course that is true. And which political party happens to be
big into oil companies etc? Yep.....

Actually... Energy is non-partisan corruption. Both sides suck from
that tit. The Republicans can just afford to be more open about it
because they don't represent the middle to lower classes and don't
pretend to.

Oh bullshit. I'm as middle class as they come. The base of the Repubs
are the middle class.

I didn't say there aren't any middle class Republicans, I said they
don't represent the middle class. They don't represent fiscal
conservatives either but there's a boat load of them in the party.

There is no "we", only individuals, and maximal freedom is

I share my ideas and thoughts and don't intend to "push" anything. If
I've ever told someone here that I know better than they do what's in
their best interest or what's good for them I don't remember it. If I
did I will apologize immediately. It's incredibly high-handed and
condescending. And utter nonsense as well.

Yeah I thought the same thing. We should make grid and do a betting

Easy money, we all do it. It's just he see's it more clearly when

You don't have a choice. None of us do. If we support

capitalism requires the mother of all meta-meta controls

Now of course there are degrees. You stop short of
ramming the freedom manifesto down people's throats
in your balled-up fist. I, on the other hand, haven't
quite learned that degree of restraint. :)
