That's right, I am claiming global warming is not
a problem, but rather a solution.

Humans must take control of the weather on this 
planet as soon as we can manage to do it.  (But
Im not sure we are quite there yet.)  Since we 
humans are claiming that we *can* have an impact 
on the temperature, we are now liable in a sense 
if we fail to do so.  Right?  

More humans perish on this planet because of cold 
than because of heat, and certainly most animals 
are colder than optimal most of the time.  
Furthermore, even the global warming extremists
are claiming that the poles are warming more than
the temperate regions.  Whats not to like?  What 
are we waiting for?

Tis true, young people, I am so geezerly that the old
habits die hard.  I used to use a typewriter that 
didn't even need electricity!  In college!  (Oy vey.)

Actually, the reason I put the returns at the end
of the lines is to make the text that I write
more compact than the text to which I am replying,
which makes it easier to distinguish in posts with
multiple replies and perhaps reduce misattribution.
Those greater than signs >> help, but the narrower
text helps more.

For the same reason, when I am offlisting to one or
two people, I write everything in lower case.  This
reinforces to the reader that the post is a private
communication.
