It the old days, their lifestyles and activities were far more severely restricted by the climate. If sleeping all day and moving slowly at night is okay for your lifestyle, you can tolerate a hotter climate, but if you want to build a modern civilization, you need air conditioning. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail.

Unfortunately for this conversation my psychic abilities don't extend to Usenet so I have to respond to what people write not to what they were thinking about when they wrote it. The fact is that global warming is a completely natural phenomenon. Man made Global Warming is a completely different topic. If you want to talk about that then try to be specific. This is what happens when people let their politics color their view of science. > Do you acknowledge *man* *made* global warming is happening and > is a problem? Yes or no? I acknowledge that there are computer models to suggest that man is contributing to a level of global warming that exceeds the normal warming rate. Now do you acknowledge that no scientist knows just what that affect is? > That is the point. > > >Let's make it clear again: there is a difference between natural global > >warming, which is proven scientific fact, and a potential man-made > >component adding to that process, which is a different topic > >altogether. > > nope, its the one we are discussing but the one you seek to avoid. No. It is one that you were discussing in your own mind but didn't bother to mention when you challenged my statement. > The context is one of excessive consumerism and industrial > pollution causing big increases in warming, apparently you think > that meant we talking about "naturally" occurring phenomena. Again, apparently you weren't aware of the difference and still aren't aware that there is no clear cut line to differentiate. > If it was "no" > > I repeat my original comment:- > "do you ever wonder why the worlds scientists think otherwise?" > > If it is "yes" I congratulate you on starting to see the problems > of the future rather than fight yesterdays wars with what you > call "socialism". I'm beginning to understand why you seem to be confused all the time in your posts. Now you're combining the theory of man's contribution to Global Warming with a discussion on economic theory and Socialism. Unrelated topics.

Now you start talking about "If sleeping all day and moving slowly at night". I thought we were talking about the conditions for sleeping at night.

And in some cases, you sweat less if you don't move, or you can find a spot that is cool in which to sleep, even if it allows for nothing else. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail.
