Speaking of the race, other than the several hundred thousand vehicles driven
to the race, which probably burn a few barrels of refined crude, the race cars
actually burn 98% ethanol / 2% gasoline. Some farmer is smiling......

Hi Ron and others:
I guessed I asked for that. Just because I'm not a big auto racing fan
doesn't mean others can't be.
It was intended (more or less) as a comment on how wasteful we are, as
Americans. In light of the previous post regarding SUV's and Hummers, I
guess the comment was in order. As a "snipe" at car racing, it was not in
order, and I apologize. More power to those who want to race, or watch car
racing. It's just not my cup of tea.
Having said that, I agree with you regarding "Global Warming". I read
somewhere that the atmosphere is not being depleted of ozone. The article
said that every time lightning strikes it produces about 1 million pounds of
ozone. And lightning strikes somewhere in the earth's atmosphere every
second. So if the ozone is being depleted, it is being restored.
I think global warming is a myth.
I recently looked at recorded temperatures for the past 50 years. It might
amaze people to know that since 1985 we have recorded more record low
temperatures (here in the U.S.) than all of the years prior to 1985.
Thank you for pointing out to me that we are all different human beings,
with different ideas, likes, dislikes, and feelings.
