I've read that Mars and Jupiter are also warming, and that it has something to do with the output of the sun. Is that true? If so, then why should we suppose that human activity is responsible for global warming here on earth? I mean, we aren't responsible for the global warming that is happening on Mars and Jupiter are we? If the globe warms up, just move further north. If the seas rise, just live farther away from the coast. Isn't that what people did the last time the globe warmed up as it did at the end of the last ice age? Sure some currently productive agricultural areas will no longer be as well suited for agriculture as they are now. But as the globe warms up, won't areas that are not productive now because the weather is too cool become more productive? It ought to balance out shouldn't it. Somehow agonizing over global warming reminds me of a fairy tale I once read in which the king had his courtiers take his throne down to the edge of the sea at low tide. As the tide came in he commanded the water to stay back and not wet his feet as he sat upon the throne. Guess what? The tide came in anyway completely oblivious to the king's law, and this was supposed to show his sycophantic followers how silly they were to keep flattering him about how much power he had. John W.
