I agree with you. His latest picks are global warming alarmists.
Now, I do not deny that the planet may be heating up, but you see
some of the same indications on Mars as well as Neptune. Also, I
have seen graphs of the fossile record and for 98% of the past 300
million years, the average surface temperature of th Earth has been
22 C, not the chilly 12 C we now experience. My feeling is this
could be due to solar fluctuation in the nuclear fusion process in
the sun's core. This seems likley. In addition, for the most part
of the Earth's recent history (th elast few hundred million years)
the CO2 levels in the atmostphere were over 10 times the present
levels.

I guess we had better look to Russia to set the pace for getting to
Mars or the development of fast space transport systems. We're too
busy moaning about building windmills and stopping nuclear power
plants.
