    SPLIT thread: Why to do anything about global warming

    I'm liking it so far. Here in No Ontario I've already got tomatoes in my garden that are knee-high. And I'm being facetious.

    re: "Bartin" Alternate Theories Rants...just keeping them together.... I thought it was going to be spam but no way I'm gonna click that link to find out.

    Get a clue!

    I've been reading the posts here at CC and I just have to say that I have never seen a more inarticulate, narrow-minded bunch of idiots.

    Beets. Anyone?

    Say, Juan, and all my other epicurean friends here. Anyone care to share a good recipe for beets, pickled, spiced or otherwise? They'll be in the markets soon, cheap and they're so good for you. But they can be real hard to choke down without some special prep. I've had good ones a couple of...
