No, I was comparing the relative use of certain technologies which, at the onset, are touted as being the best things since sliced bread. This was in response to the Luddite post, of course, and needs to be taken in light of that post.
There is a continual ebb and flow of real climate change which has extremely little if anything at all to do with the ce of Al Gore's alleged woes.

Oh, don't worry about 'The Creator'.
The Earth will continue on, it just might take some time to get back to something wonderful beyond a ball of ice or baren desert.
We, however will be just a memory at best. Happens all the time, and if we can avoid it, I say it's worth a try.

By the place you were singing in, and you were obviously "F" word freezing as you stated, which means you can't afford to turn up the heat. Just little observations. 😉

I didn't mean to hit any nerves my RHP friend.
I don't care much for profanity, so I didn't bother looking any further at the video's. I just listened to the rest of that particular one, and saw that you did have some talent playing the guitar.
I always tell people don't bother going into a thread if you don't care what the posters saying. I like to follow my own advice. 😉 Sometimes it is difficult!!!
