Kinda like saying you were driving your vanagon at 95 and accidentally
threw a rod...

Actually, it's been waiting to happen for about three centuries, and
"coincidentally" it "happened" when the temperatures in the gulf spiked
up and the poles got warm enough to slough off ice fields the size of
small American states.

So maybe there's a self-regulating system at work here, not the
dice-rolling chance that some like to presume: ironic, isn't it, that
the warming of the gulf waters could be lowered by a series of
hurricanes that cuts supply of oil, thereby driving the price up and
thus lowering consumption, which results in cooling the waters and
weakening the effects of those hurricanes so that oil can flow freely
again?

RVC: get a diesel vanagon and burn bio of any kind. No net gain in CO2.
No man-made increase in global warming, and IF that's the problem, then
we're doing all we can to solve it. The pres sez that acquiring clean
energy is going to ruin the economy. Looks like the weather will beat
us to it!
