There is something fishy going on. Houses are turning green. If it is the weather, modern paint, or just me noticing such things better as I grow older I dont know. I washed one end of the house today, with soap and high pressure washer. It was dirtier than I had thought. I feel good now, after...

Some numbers are just to big to understand. The volum of the ice on Greenland is one of them. It is estimated to: 2 668 000 000 000 000 tons of ice. Enough to rise the sea level 7 meter, 22 feet around the world. Hopefully it wont melt. Global warming is more than just mild winters.

Dont tell me you that you dont get the message! 400 replies on the climate change thread!!!! Even if most of the posts are making a fool of Gore, he put the issue on the agenda. Admit it, everybody talks of global warming. Sooner or later most of you will study the matter more carefully, and get...
