[Rhodes22-list] Global Warming - Mike W, just go (Political reply) (Big Al may delete)

[Michael D. Weisner]

Ed,

I have read your postings, well most of them, anyway.  While I am not 
looking for political alignment on the topic of GW (nor even GwB), it would 
be nice to determine if GW is indeed occuring and if so, is it something to 
be concerned with.  Of course, this begs the question "Is there really 
anything that I can do about it?"  Several arguments concerning alternate 
fuels (corn ethanol) have been made indicating that while they may reduce 
dependence on foreign oil they do little for GW.  In addition, several 
discussions concerning electric vehicles, particularly the real cost of 
battery manufacture, transportation and eventual disposal indicate that 
their usage may not make good environmental  sense.
