We just came out of an ice age. Of COURSE the Earth is getting warmer. And the geological record shows that the Earth gets warmer and colder in roughly 100,000 year cycles, corresponding to long period oscillations in Earth's orbit around the sun.
But politicians who want your votes and charlatans who want your money will use every change of the thermometer or barometer to sell you a product or an ideology, most of them devoid of any real value.
There is no "balance" of nature. Nature is change. Nature is chaos. Nature will never stand still and it is only the height of human arrogance and conceit that thinks nature can or should be frozen in a particular configuration.

The brothers captured what is thought to be the only footage of the first plane hitting the North tower
"It is clear that your intent is not to spread a controversial message but rather to profit," the lawyers conclude. They have identified at least 14 videofragments, including interviews with firemen. The Naudet Brothers, backed by distributor Paramount, are demanding $150,000 for each act of willful infringement.

'US risking another fiasco in Somalia'
The United States should co-operate with his government rather than with unaccountable warlords in fighting terrorism, Mr Yusuf added. On its part, the Bush administration has neither denied nor confirmed that it is financing the warlord alliance. But some US officials, including the ambassador to Kenya William Bellamy, acknowledge that Washington is encouraging groups throughout Somalia to oppose militants linked to or supportive of Al Qaeda.
One reason for US reticence on this subject may be that the financing of warlord factions would amount to a violation of the United Nations’ arms embargo against Somalia. Indeed, a UN panel monitoring the embargo said in a recent report that it is investigating an unnamed country’s alleged support for an alliance in Somalia that has received large supplies of weapons.

And I informed her that Karl Rove essentially conceded that the war was Bush's Achilles heel. So if MoveOn wanted to defeat the Bushies, why not raise the war? Silence came over her. She then said, as if recalling something, that opposition to the war was "negative" and we had to have a "positive" agenda. I asked whether "Bring all the troops home now.
