I'm liking this story about global warming. Anyone unsure about whether the planet has been getting warmer over the last, say, 50 years, ought to take a look. Of course, many questions remain: what's causing the warming, what's not causing the warming, is it natural, should we be worried, can we do anything, should we do anything, how much hotter will it get, when's the next ice age . . . ? The answers are probably: dunno, dunno, dunno, no, probably not, dunno, dunno and . . . next Tuesday?! Of course, the arguments rage on but I like to think, wrongly or not, that the planet has been in a relatively cool period during the last few hundred years, and a small temperature rise is expected and anticipated. But, hey, what do I know?
