============ Great points As far as ''settled science''one may want to average the global warming scam, with the ''cooling scare/scam '' of the 1970's Avereages can be stubborn things; & the western US does seem to be a bit warmer due to drought. But suprise suprise,eastern US has had its share +/ of rain. Thats a cooling/cool trend. I am not saying all the statesmen/scientists/media are liars. For example in the latest ''hot battle'' mayor Bloomberg told the other mayors to stay out of Chick Fillet business. Strangly the Chicago Tribune agrees with Mayor Bloomberg. Chick Fillet has a right to thier opinion. Theyre right, in that fight ,anyway
