[lbo-talk] Global Warming 'Virtually Certain' Says Amer.Geophysical Union

[Jose Rodriguez & Sally Everson]

Not if you live on a small island or low-lying area of the world ...
For those of us who do -- I have heard we will be Atlantis in only 40 or so
years...
and that is based on current emissions... never mind the growth in
emmissions which car manifacturers seemed geared to create ...
As soon as I get a *real* job I plan to buy some land in a mountainous area
;-)

A series of catastrophic natural disasters might eventually destabilize
the US institutions and undermine US brand of capitalism.  Not a bad
thing.  It keeps the hope alive.
