Not that I have invested a lot of time to unmystify it, but still. The ice ages (bar the <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0268380/">Hollywoodized one</a>) have come and gone without our industrialized help. The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_effect">butterfly</a> makes it hard to know whether changes in temperature and weather is due to our carbon dioxide production, the earth&#8217;s normal fluctuations or something else. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I&#8217;m not thinking that we shouldn&#8217;t <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyoto_Protocol">do</a> anything about the situation &#8211; just that I find it hard to be sure of the causality.</p> <p>Nevertheless, events like the <a href="http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=mg18725124.500">melting of Siberia</a> makes me worried!</p> <p>Perhaps I just have to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming">read</a> up some more, but now I don&#8217;t have the time since the sun is shining outside for the first time in like four weeks.</p>
