Thanks Sarah, I need these addresses. Sorry I was so snippy in earlier post; Nothing personal. Clinton has a scuzzy streak in his personal life, but this circus is ridiculous and both houses should be impeached for not addressing concerns of y2k and global warming.

gilda, "....but this circus is ridiculous and both houses should be impeached for not addressing concerns of y2k and global warming." I couldn't agree with you more on the first part, but lumping Y2K and global warming together is like combining concerns for imminent starvation and the dangers of a high fat diet.

Very interesting point. I'm having a senior moment; plese explain.

-- gilda jessie (jess@listbot.com), December 19, 1998.

I'm sorry; but, I don't understand what you mean by senior moment. Will you explain to me?

Thanks Kevin. MVI, I'm a senior citizen, and when a senior has a problem with either memory, or in this case, trying to decide what you meant, we say that we're having a "senior moment"-- rather than saying, "Uh, I think my thinking processes are stuck. It's my age you know." HeeHee

LOL gilda. I understand now. Do you need an explanation of my comments on your original post?

MVI I would really like to hear your point of view on this. My point of view goes like this. Global warming has been an ongoing process for years. Everyone has heard of it, some believe it, like me, others dismiss it as baloney, and some think, "They'll do something before it gets really bad." I always felt it would take an imminent danger, affecting everyone, before people would get in gear and do something. Well this is an imminentl danger, yet many are no more concerned than they are about global warming. I consider both very threatening, but y2k has a set date.

-- gilda jessie (jess@listbot.com), December 19, 1998.

gilda,

I was a) COMPARING the threat of Y2K to imminent starvation AND b) COMPARING the threat of global warming to the dangers of a high fat diet. I was then CONTRASTING the urgency to resolve Y2K to the urgency to resolve global warming.

If we starve to death then there is no need to worry about the accumulative long term effects of a high fat diet on our arteries and colon.

Sooo..a bad Y2K scenario (shutting down industry) will solve global warming. Maybe thats what are leaders are working towards.

Get it? (ahhh, they're never any good when you have to 'splain 'em)

Got it! You're right.

-- gilda jessie (jess@listbot.com), December 20, 1998.


Except the Y2K crisis has an immediate, critical impact - more like stepping into a nest of sleeping rattler snakes.

Immediately deadly if bitten, and if untreated - but you could protect yourself against most bites with boots and leggings. You know it will be terrible when the snakes wake up - but you don't know which ones will wake up first.

Global warming still has many points of doubt - particularly about whether it is present, what causes it, and how reliable the data is. Best Nasa can come up is "inconclusive" based on satellite data from the whole planet.

There is however, physical evidence that some upper snowcaps have retreated - bodies have been recovered from Andean and Alpine mountains last covered many thousand years ago. But if inductrial polution caused the current warming, how did the bodies get up there before there was inductrial polution to be either trapped while walking across the mountain, or killed by their Indian tribe for religious purposes.

Why did the snow retreat then? There was no industrial warming.
