Much can be learned by the movie, "Monty Python's The Meaning of Life" When death shows up at the dinner party because of the Salmon Mousse, he says one of the most profound things I have ever heard. He tells the Americans they talk too much. That's part of the problem.

We have 24 hour news channels that cant possibly fill 24 hours with anything interesting and factual, so they sensationalize and editorialize and speculate. That's where people get in trouble.



It doesn't really matter though. I mean, the thing I hate is how everyone makes this out to be such a bad thing, and how so many people will have their homes under water, and how the coastlines will change and climates will change.

Big deal. So what. Who cares? That's what I say. It won't be the end of the world. This world has survived massive meteor strikes and volcanoes and radioactive bombardment from outer space, and floods and earthquakes. Plate tectonics heaved the Rocky mountains up from a flat plain just as the Appalachians. The Appalachians used to be far taller than the Rockies and even taller than the Alps. Then years and years of wind erosion, and torrents of rain, freezing centuries, glaciers, and time, ticking away, has rotted and decayed them down to practically nothing compared to what they once were. Do you think a few diesel engines idling, or an incandescent bulb is going to be the end of human civilization?
