Even though they disapprove of our direction they won't agree on the correct direction. They're still arguing about whether compact fluorescents are a good idea. It will take a catastrophe to wake up enough people to make a difference. <BR/><BR/>I apologize for being cynical.rigtenzinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07753944603301426002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10011905.post-58015468856610100642008-04-05T09:05:00.000+02:002008-04-05T09:05:00.000+02:00All must sacrifice to serve the blog.

I skipped huge swaths of the first one. I tune back in in the second when<BR/>1) Frank is hanging out in the park. I want to do that!<BR/>2) Extreme weather events are described. This is what I started the book for.<BR/>3) he gets to pull tracking devices out of the back of beautiful spies<BR/>4) Charlie's boy acts like the reincarnation of the Lama.<BR/><BR/>otherwise, it is boring and not all that well written. I agree on the climate info. Anyone who has read a Newsweek article about warming will not find anything new here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
