Chuckle. Chicken little wozn't asking at the beginning of 2K5 as I was.

Herd behaviour owes little to facts & thought.

However (b) What an El- nino it's turning out to be  & (b)
wait for the el nino to end & then wait for the year after that.

Shrug. we know greenhouse gases trap heat. We know that heat causes water
to turn to gas. We know that water when it is lifted up high is a heavy
lump of mass wot contains a lot of energy in terms of both heat &
gravitational potential energy.

Personally I am the opposite of most (as usual) in that I flatly refuse to
believe in climate stability. It is a chaotic system with many varying
variables that stability is not tenable.

Yup, no question that the Algae/photoplankton is the dominant factor in
maintaining life critical factors on earth.

That & the star we orbit...oh & gravity.....wot ave circumstances
ever done for us?

Wind. Convection. Pressure differentials.
