The only thing predictable about the weather is that it's unpredictable.

While I think that some have exaggerated the present perils of global warming, the greenhouse effect and the depletion of the ozone, I think we've been dilatory in taking steps to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.

What made my ears stick up after the recent international summit on the greenhouse effect, a Washington think tank in conjunction with Exxon is offering $10,000.00 to a scientist to write an opposing report. Noww there's a credible report.

But for $20,000, I'll write whatever they want.
