     Of course I'm right.  I'm always right.  Its just a curse I have to bear.    
   :)

   than all that humans have produced, in toto.   
      
      I get a chuckle when people say humans are causing all the problems then   
   try to explain ice ages and warm periods over the eons when humans had   
   nothing to do with it.   
      And also just what is the perfect weather?  Ice ages?  Warm periods?   
      I'll watch some show from 30 years ago how the weather changed and it   
   was called weather.  Now its human caused climate change.   
      Some area had erosion that was natural, now its caused by humans.   
       
   > Volcanos have been an integral part of Earth's carbon & climate cycles since   
   day one.   
      
     Yep.   
       
   > My other take on the situatoin relies more on others' cynicism, as I've   
   noted the climate change criers are the ones burhning more fossil fuels than   
   any of the rest of us!   
      
     Such as all those private jets going to Glasgow of that recent summit?    
   :)   
      
   > & it's funny how all the leaders of the movement have recently spent   
   7-figures each buying ocean-front properties (That's like paying thousands for   
   a sand castle as the tide is coming in)   
      
     One would think they would buy property far inland...   
      
   > I do my part by not wasting materials/food/plastic/etc & recycling where   
   possible.   
      
     I do the same.   
     I find second usage for a lot of stuff.   
     No particular order: old metal coffee cans for things like rice, sugar,   
   etc.   
     Old two litre bottles for juices, etc.   
     Slivers of soap squeezed onto new bars.   
     Old while cotton socks for cleaning rags.   
     Cloth rags for cleaning rather than paper towels.   
     I have a whole lot of things I use over and over.   
     I was raised on:   
     Use it up,   
     Wear it out,   
     Make it do,   
     Or do without.
