 Now that from a vet who served under the command of Lieutenant John Chard at the battle of Rorke's Drift......

Sorry Troll I'll get Chief to change the fonts so you can see them better typed BAOR not BOER , and that would be BAOR = British Army on the Rhine, not the BOER War that you fought in as a young 20 something cavalry man......

I can remember as a child worrying about the "coming ice age"...

When you figure the weather people, despite all the technology and super computers we have, cannot with certainty tell me its going to rain on a specific day next week; its very difficult for me to take their prediction of global catastrophe in x number of years very seriously.

And, since they tell me the reason they cannot predict the weather with more certainty is the number of factors involved in the equation, some still unknown, some beyond human prediction, I am ever more skeptical they can with certainty tell me it is MAN causing their predicted global climate change disaster.

Nah, this is politics and greed- a political agenda designed by people who want reputation and gold- not science IMHO.

At least they didn't start taxing you to cover the Mayan end of the world prediction. $30 a month to pay for a fantasy would piss me off too. Hell, the whole concept of VAT makes me angry... fortunately, we don't do that here... yet!
