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.

I believe it was more the increase of midgets.

A good bad movie is like popcorn for the soul!

Pretty close, Cheeze - it was at the Constitutional Convention that Dr. Franklin had to be carried by four strong men on a litter, and it was a combination of kidney stones and gout that laid him low.

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.

I've had the gout in my big toe and that hurts bad enough without the stones.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
