Things Heating Up in Europe:
The environmentalists have been saying since 1975 that the world would heat up due to global warming. It is starting to be proven that they were right, at least with the heating up part. Europe recorded its hottest summer in 2003 in 500 years. The scientists can't say exactly why, but the heat has been credited with 19,000 deaths so far. By all reports, things are going to become much worse before they get better. Meanwhile, our leaders continue debating the need for more industrial controls. George Bush has the worst performance on record in this regard. I wonder what it's going to take before they start acting sympathetic towards the future of us all.
