Speaking of climate change - there's a interesting program on the History
Channel about the ittle ice age - around 1000 AD it warmed up, causing
people to start growing *really* good grapes in England - people moved there
to enjoy the nice weather - all was fine for a couple hundred years - then
it turned colder - 4F in 10 years - crops failed, people starved, people
(and animals) started staying cramped together indoors which promoted the
spread of disease and the plague wiped out 25 milllion people. Even the
Norsemen couldn't withstand the cold & most died out. People allowed some
of their children to die so the others would have enough to eat. Hansel &
Gretle is supposedly about this practice.
They use tree ring dating to confirm some of this info -
Anyway - I caught bits and pieces of the show while working on the car so I
missed a lot but I bet it'll be on again.
In any case, the cycle of warm and cold climate change is a ever happening
circumstance. People may not be as responsible for the current (mild @ 1F
per 100 years) warming trend - much more damage might have occurred during
the 1800s and early 1900s with widespread wood burning, coal burning as well
as many 1000's of oil filled ships torpedoed or otherwise burned and sunk
during the 2 big wars. With our hugely more economical cars which as
recently as the 60s were lucky to get 15mpg - now it's not unusual to get
nearly double that in most large cars (my 97 Chrysler Concord got 26).
Along with much more miserly heat pumps and 20% of electr being generated by
nuke power - we should be seen as less responsible for climate change rather
than more so.
Or I could be wrong. ;-)

In France, some of them tried using Barbary Apes about five years ago.
Almost as hard to control as turkeys.
