   Yes, the Gov't likes to blame us for things that allow them to duck   
   the blame and usually guilt us into letting them charge more for   
   services without us complaining about it.   
      
   I think a lot of the Global Warming stuff is being used so we will   
   pay more for gasoline, electricity and such without complaint..   
      
   NOTE: I'm not saying Globel Warming is not happening, I question   
   whether we caused it or could do anything to stop it seeing as   
   it's happened multiple times in the past when there were a lot   
   fewer people on earth to create it..   
      
   The world has had a lot more years (twice as many) without polar   
   ice caps as with them and 4000 years ago they could grow crops   
   in England that it is now too Cold to grow..   
      
   Global warming or natural correction?
