so...i turned off me tv.

too depressing to watch, and since nothing really meaningful is going to be done about it (until things get much much much worse), and there is nothing really i can do about it, i went back to playing counterstrike/WoW fer a while.


yarrrrrRRRR!

I don't think we'll have wait as long as you might think. Some (a few, but it's a start) of Corporate america have already jumped ship on the "GW doesn't exsist" camp. I watched a different Documentry on GW last night and was very surprised to see that BP oil was the sponsor!! They even ran pro-enviorment/pro-alternate fuel commercials!!
I think that in 5 years or so GW will be accepted by most everyone including those not capable of reading science journals.

Even those that once belonged to the Global Climate Coalition have bailed out!
"...Since then many other corporations have followed BP s lead and left the coalition. This exodus reached a fevered pitch in the early months of 2000 when DaimlerChrysler, Texaco and General Motors all announced their exodus from GCC."
