Soooooo, where is the Warming?

We sat around the '87 fire pit last night to stay warm. My only concern- the fire burned for several hours. Since we were burning carbon based wood, how much CO2 did we release?

Man's hubris over how much he thinks he controls- both negative and positive- is amazing.

I've found this also applies to raising children.

If you were all drinking beer, I'd be more worried about the methane released.

Just back from a trip to Glacier National Park. If you have never been to that part of the world and love the great outdoors, I strongly suggest you go there. But go soon if you want to actually see any glaciers. The number of glaciers is down to 25 from about 150 in the late 1800's, and the park people estimate that they will all be gone in the next 15 to 20 years.

I'm glad you took a plane or car to go see a glacier that is disappearing because people are taking non-essential trips in cars and planes.....
