Oh, I read the link. Here's my take on Global Warming.

Do I believe global warming is taking place? Absolutely. What I'm irritated about is it isn't happening fast enough. I want the average global temperature to increase by about 10 degrees in ONE YEAR. I could care less what happens in the next few centuries or 1000 years. I won't be alive anyhow. I want heat and warmth NOW!

See, I live in lovely Northern Ohio where my job and business lie, so moving is not an option. Right now, there is about 1 inch of crappy white stuff on the ground that sits there for 5 months a year. This severely limits my drive time in the Cobra. On average, considering total miles driven a year, I'm lucky to drive the car 3% of the time. If the average global temperature were to increase by about 10 degrees, my yearly drive time would also increase significantly. That's just one benefit. I saw a map showing how much the coastal regions would sink under the ocean. That would mean most of those people would have to relocate inland. My property values would probably double. Then we have those in states like Arizona, California, New Mexico and the such with no water. This would even get worse as the temperature increased. I live right near the largest body of fresh water in the world. It will become like oil was a few months ago.

Do I believe it is happening? Yes. I just wish more people would start listening to the naysayers...like they did in the article I posted to help support your topic. I stand to gain BIG time from global warming if it actually comes to fruition while I'm alive. Trust me....my car spews some real toxic waste and I drive it as much as I can...considering where i live.
