oh yeh...i heard that warming is actually keeping us alive as there is this thing called global dimming (it doesnt mean people around the world being dimwits all of a sudden....)anyway global dimming is people livin on the planet and stuf and to make it short...all the extra suit and stuff in the air is giving moisture more stuff to cling onto therefore givin us more clouds...these clouds are blocking out up to 60% of our sunlight...imagine if it was 60% more sunlight how dead we would be....hehehehehe....anyway global warming is keeping us warm but is also stopping harmful sunlight from burning us in dire ways...i cant remember much more...look it up...oh yeah there is also this stuff called methane hydrate which sometimes comes out through cracks in the earths crust under oceans....does this remind you of mako or lifestream at all...
