  George Bush and the History of Global Warming

  George Bush may deny Global Warming, he should learn from King Knute and Hildegard of Bingen.

  King Knute made fools of his flatters when he mocked their praises that he could move heaven and earth by having his throne moved to the edge of the sea , commanded the tide not to rise, and having the tide continue to rise and the sea swirl around his throne.

  Mathew Fox quotes Hildegard of Bingen's statement in the 12th century: "If humans interfere with the web of creation, God's justice will allow the earth to punish humanity".

  Two scientists writings I would suggest for people concerned about the future of life on this planet are those of William Ruddiman and Peter Ward.

  William Ruddiman had published in Scientific American in March 2005 an article titled "How Did Humans First Alter Global Climate". In late 2006 he published a book on the topic titled "Plows, Plagues and Petroleum:How Humans Took Control of Climate".  He presents evident that human activity began adding CO2 and methane to the atmosphere thousands of years ago.

  Peter Ward got an article published in Scientific American in October, 2006 titled "Impact from the Deep". In 2006 he published a book titled "Out of Thin Air". In these publications he presents information about how atmospheric CO2 and O2 levels have affected evolution and a mechanism for several of the mass extinctions in the past by CO2 rising above a critical level .
