This is a beautiful quote, regarding the results of global warming over the
last 20 years, from a NASA-DoE study:
Climatic changes, over approximately the past 20 years, tended to be in the
direction of easing climatic limits to plant growth. In general, in areas
where temperatures restricted plant growth, it became warmer; where sunlight
was needed, clouds dissipated; and where it was too dry, it rained more. In
the Amazon, plant growth was limited by sun blocking cloud cover, but the
skies have become less cloudy. In India, where a billion people depend on
rain, the monsoon was more dependable in the 1990s than in the 1980s
### Owners of the Prius, shame on you. Instead of helping the planet,
burning gasoline to make the world a green oasis, you mutter your 1970's
mantras of "conservation", " limits to growth" and general doom. Praise be
Bush, unwittingly doing the right thing, for a change.
It's a beautiful world to be in, and it will get even better.
