I think it’s really cool that they found another baby Mammoth, preserved in ice, but doesn’t this also make my point about Global Warming in a most excellent way?

Scientists believe that Mammoths were made extinct when the world around them began to warm (it says that in the BBC video available on the page linked above), yet the animal died 39,900 years before the invention of the automobile, 39,800 years before polluting factories were erected in the north of England – well, basically – 40,000 years before man started to pollute.

So why is Global Warming suddenly our fault if it’s a natural process of the Earth? My ears pricked up recently when a meteorologist on a local news station here said that “technically, we’re still emerging from the end of the last Ice Age.”

I also wonder about all this Hybrid Car talk… People in the USA are buying them because they need to buy less petrol and it works out cheaper. The problem I have with that is, once everyone has a Hybrid (but still needs a little Petroleum), won’t the price of that little bit of petrol be raised to match what they’d be paying for a full tank of the stuff anyway? I know if I was running an oil company, that’s what I’d do…
