Hmmmm, 30 years ago the media was telling us there was global cooling and that food production would be in serious trouble.

BUT...then the liberals would also bitch about horses (or other animals) being used for transportation was cruel and inhumane, blah blah blah... or that they produce too much methane and THEY pollute the earth, blah blah blah...
jillian said:I don't think anyone says we should revert to the days of horse and buggies. But it's clear that humans have had a massive negative effect on the environment due to the use of fossil fuels. So why not just take a practical approach and raise CAFE standards, start focusing on alternative fuels and tighten environmental controls?
Those changes wouldn't only be good for the environment, but they'd free us from our dependence for oil on countries which are hostile to our interests.
BTW, I love Harry Potter, too.
