"Be worried, be very worried"

*** begin quote
A 10-member House delegation did recently travel to Antarctica, Australia
and New Zealand to meet with scientists studying climate change. *****

Some politicians decided that they wanted a vacation in Australia and New
Zealand. If they just wanted to see melting ice, I am sure there was an
ice machine and a warm room handy. Why should this worry us?

"They" want us to all freak out, much like the Chicken Little and
Boogeyman stories they told us when we were kids, so that they can
intimidate us into following their orders.

This, notwithstanding that the Global Warming has progressed to the point
where the polar ice-melt has reached the point of positive feedback, i.e.,
every time a glacier melts, it exposes dark soil, lowering the albedo of
Planet Earth, increasing the amount of energy accumulated from insolation,
further warming the glaciers and ice caps, exposing more dark land to
accrue energy -

I heard some guy on edjamacaitional teevee say that we've already passed
the point of no return. The "global warming", the melting of the ice caps,
the increase of sea level depth by 5 or 10 meters or whatever, is
inevitable, no matter _what_ humans do. Even if all human activity was
stopped, and we all died and didn't need to decompose, it wouldn't change
the fact that the ice caps are melting regardless.

So, I say we should eat, drink, and be merry! Oh, yeah, might as well
***, too, since the population explosion doesn't make any difference
either. ;-)

Good Luck!
