[RC] Warning in the Winds - Tom Sites

"Warning in the Winds"  was the title of an article in the Washington Post's Outlook section on September 19 of this year.  For those not finding these things interesting or pertinant may i just quote..."With only 4% of the Earth's population, the US is responsible for a quarter of global greenhouse emissions."  To those 2,000 in Haiti that died from 2 hurricanes it is too late.  The reason they were in such dire straits is because they are so poor they cut down all the trees to make charcoal for heating and cooking and there was nothing to stop the run-off and they drowned or were covered up by the deluge.  To those affected by the current cycle of events in Florida and the Gulf States you may be reminded of the song.."you will scream out for Mercy, but there will be more.", according to this article.  This weather thing will be just like the topic of the current conflict in Irag when in April of last year all the bravado on RC  of our 'Victory' and i said..."The War was easy, the Peace will be difficult." may remind you that i was deemed an idiot or an off the wall crackpot for saying..."I told you so."  tom sites
