Look, there are clear benefits to this global warming thing. As temperatures increase, we will probably see less of a need for coats and thus a decline in the fur coat trade. Won't need to club baby seals 'cause A), there won't be any ice left to chase them out on, and B) won't need for their fur to stay warm. Probably won't need to burn as many trees in the fireplaces either so the practice of harvesting trees to use for heat is gone. That will leave more trees to hug! Wahoo... Warmer temperatures mean less fireplaces relying on wood, coal and that nasty oil, so there will be less crap in the air. With warmer temperatures on the way, there will be less snow so there will be no need for tire chains and salt, which means less road damage, which means less road construction, which means less time spent sitting idle, wasting fuel, waiting for the flag girl to let you through. With warmer temperatures on the horizon, there will less of a need to let cars sit and warm up before heading off to work in the mornings because there won't be any more cold mornings. Warmer temperatures mean a decrease in ice and an increase in the oceans volume. Higher ocean levels mean new beaches, new areas to dive, less chance of having large cargo bearing ships getting hung up on shallow reefs which means less fuel needed to retrieve them. I mean when it comes right down to it, and a person steps back and takes an honest look at the pending disaster of global warming, the benefits are endless... Instead of railing against George Bush like some of you like to do, you should be thanking him. If you are correct and George Bush is to blame for global warming, then George Bush will ultimately be responsible for more trees, less polluted skies, more cute fury baby seals, no more fur coats, less road construction, less fuel and oil cosumption, higher sea levels, less California and New York which means less BS from either coast. ;) It would appear that ol' George and his administration may wind up the most earth friendly administration yet. Way to go George! Quoting daniel turner <outwest112@yahoo.com>:

Here's a suggestion, eat more beef and less sprouts and beans! After all they are thought to be a big contributor to the methane gas part of the green house equation. Also, we need to ramp up our bombing strategeries and bomb the oil producing countries further into the stone age, where according to some on this list, we were much better off... ;) Here's looking forward to warmer times!
The best solution would be to place a sofa cushion face down in the middle of the floor, sit down next to it and beat on it with a hockey stick, all the time yelling, "I hate you Dick Cheney, I hate you Halliburton". Keep it up until you can't lift your arms up or you pass out. After that you need to reflect on some of the positive aspects of the world today. After all the Red Sox did finally win the world series, after a decisive, crushing, humiliating, pennant race victory over the.....(arg)...(ick)....(gulp)...NEW YORK YANKEES.........................................I hate you George Steinbrenner....wham...wham...wham.
