I'm a British mathematician, been in the Netherlands for 35 years ("chercher la femme"). Recently became a double proud grandfather. Have a compulsion, but it's not secret, to want to correct miscarriages of justice involving abuse of science, see Dhamaka's plea
THE 9-11 was my 50th birthday. That's why I use it in my internet name, but English fashion, 11-9. The other part is my surname.

It would be sad to think it was a result of global warming. Our grapes never flowered this year. Winter hung on throughout Spring though, and we didn't get much of a summer. I'm jealous of *everyone's* grapes! :D

@Caine: You're in North Dakota, we're in Netherlands... some places get hotter, others get colder.

We get more variable. Hottest this, coldest that, driest this, wettest that.. all the time.
Actually personally I suspect it is not really so much to do with human activity. And if so, a nice warm blanket of CO2 might actually postpone the next ice-age by a year or two. It's going to come and nothing is going to stop it.
Did you know H2O is a much worse greenhouse gas than C2O?
BTW I do believe we humans have a problem - multiplying and consuming everything like a plague of locusts - but I'm pretty sure nature will sort that out in her own time. In the meantime we should live aesthetically and ethically and enjoy ourselves if we are able to.
