I don't mean a contest with you, L. Ray...I mean between countries that waste energy and pollute the atmosphere.

   

I dunno about anonymous, but with this kind of evasion I'm going to assume the answer is "no, I'm not a real Rev" -- whatever a real Rev would be. (Hell, what does Dr mean anymore? <a href='http://www.insideedition.com/investigative/DiplomaMills.htm'>These days any degree can be</a> <a href='http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/05/10/eveningnews/main616664.shtml'>had for just a few bucks.</a> <a href='http://entertainment.tv.yahoo.com/entnews/wwn/20030130/104393880005.html'>Degrees in anything.</a> It's what happens when <a href='http://www.wusatv9.com/investigative/investigative_article.aspx?storyid=22698'>a license is required for everything</a>. And even a bachelor's earned honestly, like my own in maths, is barely ahead of a highschool education of a century ago.) <p>What's my point? Dunno anymore. Maybe "don't pay any effing attention to the decorations they put on their names."

   

No evasion at all. I've offered to answer. This simply isn't the place for the discussion.

   

Sorry this is a bit off topic but since we ended up in Canada let me say I don't believe we are likely to come up with a real plan re Kyoto, given that Ottawa and Alberta are dead set to expand oil sands production for one thing. <p> I think in Canada there are both: <p> 1)A genuine desire among a lot of people to really do want to see something SERIOUS done. (This is partly true to gov 'propaganda'; so they are doing a little bit.) 2)A lot of government lip service, perhaps some good will, some gimmicks like the carbon sink credit idea of our forests they tried to peddle before Kyoto was dead, but no real serious concrete efforts. <p> But I also think that a lot of people ARE changing their behaviour and things will slowly change, no Kyto targets though in my opinion. Since the Summit in Rio the west has consistently come up with EMPTY promises.

   

didn't mean to post anon, just wasn't logged in

   

"<em>Its a lot of hot air.</em>" <p>Yes, it is, which is the whole trouble. That there is a warming trend cannot be disputed. As to whether WE are contributing to this warming trend is another matter. But suffice to say, what is wrong with a species that continually soils it's own nest? I say, if we can make a mess, we can also clean it up.</p><p>---<br>RickW

I still think a "yes" or a "no" would've been simpler. Even one followed by a "see ...".

   

Mr. Anon also submitted a story to this effect (which promptly hit the bit bucket). As Rev Blair pointed out, if you want to know, start a Forum thread on the subject, or email him. I'm sure he'll answer.<p> <p>---<br>"History does not repeat itself, but it does rhyme" Mark Twain <br />

I don't feel it's a yes or no question, Kwantize. Even if it were though, an article on the environment is no place to discuss religious leanings unless they pertain directly to environmental issues. I fail to see the connection here at all.

I was just in the forum and nobody has started the suggested thread, so I guess the question really had little to do with my moniker.

   

All right you big phony. I posted the question in the forum social chatter. So let's hear the deal 'reverend.'

   

Okey Dokey. You might try skipping the name-calling though.

   

He ordered his reverend title on the internet. Looks like my suspecions were correct.

   

The full thread is available in the forums section.
