Geez - thot this died on the vine sometime ago.......   This oughta put the
final nail in the coffin - Rush "nailed it" several yrs ago w/a dialogue on
Global Warming - supported by research/data & likewise noticed the
"prognosticators & doomsayers" leave via their SUV's -or- biz jets !  I'm
notta Rush disciple - but listen w/an objective mind & find him more often
right than not - if somebody's willing to not "knee-jerk" to his comments,
but take the time to check -or- google what he says & cross-reference.

Probably banned from this forum for life now......    Things could be worse,
I could be maimed, squeezed by a tree hugger I suppose....  ;)
