Not in the USA it won't. There is more chance of Ian Paisley being the next Pope. -- Its a lot more encouraging than that. Have a look at the latest edition of New Scientist. Several US states are holding up two fingers to dubya and bringing in their own legislation about emissions (remember there is local democracy there!). Even dubya's government is looking at ways to improve the efficiency of fossil fuel burning and filtering out CO2 and sequestering it. China, which will soon overtake the US in CO2 emission are into this as well. So ghastly though it was for the people living there might be some good effects from the hurricane. Seems to me its all now a questioon of timing. Will the new technologies and attitudes have effect soon enough before really irreversible things happen, like methane release from ancient frozen swamps and huge sea level rises due to melting. I feel more optimistic now than I was a few years ago. There is strong evidence or growing concern by people who can make things happen. -- __________________________________________________ ________ Peter Scott Scanned for viruses using Norton 2005 before sending __________________________________________________ ________ |

I hope so, but I fear that it may not! I suspect that Bush will remain in a state of denial AIUI Bush's position is that global warming is a reality, but it's probably entirely natural rather than a result of man's activities. So Katrina is simply irrelevant. -- Mike Barnes |

Some of us have been trying for many years - in the face of scorn and insults from anti-environmentalists. Ah well, we'll see. Perhaps. Not in my time I suspect but it would be lovely to think, "I told them so .... " Mary |

Why? What is happening now is not different to what has been happening for tens of thousands of years. The difference now it is being reported by the news media and it's made to look worse by journalists sensationalising the stories with the sole purpose of filling the 24 hour a day broadcasting slots. -- Alan |

for tens of thousands of years. I agree that its been happening for a long time before we were on the earth, but it does appear that the problem is accelerating. I`m sure the fact all the worlds' oil reserves, which took many millions of years to form, have been burnt in less than 100 years has no bearing on this though :-p -- Please add the word "newsgroup" in the subject line of personal emails **** My email address includes "ngspamtrap" and " **** |
