Walter, perhaps this is not the correct forum to address this topic, but I would like to mention the elephant in the room. There does seem to be a dose of competitive emotions surrounding the relative importance of Europe, the U.S, etc. I have traveled in Europe, and while there the mood and information centers around Europe and the country you are in, which is totally understandable, that is the center of your universe, just as it happens here. The center of our universe is here, the U.S. Inasmuch as there is pride involved in regard to where we live, that is understandable, and I can even understand resentment for too much pride. We as Americans, I understand we are somewhat proud, brash, and may be considered to be self absorbed, materialistic, wasteful, spoiled. as well as the new kid on the block still. I understand all of that, but Europeans also have a problem with their attitudes of intellectual superiority, etc., so we all have our human weaknesses.
So I understand the information I posted only relates to here, but the fact is we are having some rather cold weather in this country, and I think this is not the only place, I have reports for Europe, China, etc. I like to post these things as anecdotal reminders that winter is still winter, the climate is not changing much at all, and besides it irritates the folks that have bought into the global warming model, hook, line, and sinker.
(same here).
