Jan. 27--What's the biggest news story of current times? Rising Muslim fanaticism? Computer-driven economic shifts of the Information Age?

Most likely, it's half-hidden climate change caused by global warming -- impelled by "greenhouse gases" emitted by fossil-fuel combustion in advanced nations like America -- according to Washington Post columnist David Ignatius. He says melting of polar ice, drying of the Amazon rain forest, disrupted migratory patterns of butterflies, plus other symptoms "may be harbingers of a catastrophe that could, quite literally, alter the fundamentals of life on the planet."

4. My wife constantly talk about how people give blank looks when...

we mention global warming.

For instance,

I mentioned to my dentist that 60 degrees in January was not right, and all I got was 'Well, you might as well enjoy it while we have it.'

or,

I was talking with a customer from New Jersey about the warm days in January and his response to the 'not right' comment was, 'I know. My brother is playing golf today, and I would rather go snowmobiling.'.

or,

My wife and I went out with a Democratic couple last week so we thought we were safe to talk about it. When we brought up the subject they just nervously laughed and ignored the conversation.
