Title: Global Warming May Cause Kidney Stones Post by: CheezeFlixz on July 17, 2008, 10:48:24 PM http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,383456,00.html (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,383456,00.html)
If my history memory is correct (Indy will correct me if I'm wrong) Ben Franklin had kidney stones so bad the 4 men had to carry him to the signing of the Declaration of Independence ... so that HAS to mean that British oppression was the true cause of Global Warming ... damn the aristocracy.

That's ridiculous. Everybody knows the rise in global temperatures correlates perfectly with the declining number of pirates in the world.

On a broader note, have you noticed that all these stories about global warming are predicated on what MIGHT happen or what COULD happen? Sometimes, the bolder ones will throw in the phrase PROBABLY, but the fact is, no one knows what's GOING to happen. Personally - I think the planet will do what it is going to do regardless of what we do. We're just along for the ride. However, I do support reasonable alternative fuels, for the simple reason that it will get us out from unde the Arab's claws. I guarantee you, when the need for oil goes away, we can pretty much kiss off that part of the world, except for our loyal friends the Israelis.
