(1.) I think the point of all of this is that we, humans, cannot predict the weather nor climate. What we can do is look at the facts and make some educated guesses. That's still science. (2.) This gets back to my actuary question and, yes, they are working on this and, no, it doesn't give any new facts. So ... We are left with what to do. Well ... * CONSERVATIVE APROACH: we'll begin taking action in the same way The Ant stores food for the winter. Can The Ant say for certain it'll be cold winter? No. But if it is, The Ant's ready. In other words, The Ant wants to make sure that if the worst happens, he'll live through it. * LIBERAL APPROACH: Like The Grasshopper we won't change our behavior at all because, while we do see signs that might indicate a cold winter, we don't know for sure, so why assume it will be cold and work to store food? That would waste the rest of the summer. As a conservative I choose to act, but our President is a liberal and so he chooses not too. History will be the judge. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Enterprise web applications, build robust, secure scalable apps today - Try it now ColdFusion Today ColdFusion 8 beta - Build next generation apps Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:239909 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
