Speaking of obfuscation, has anyone noticed that we are now talking about 'Climate Change' instead of 'Global Warming'? Could that be because there really isn't any such thing as anthropogenic global warming? If not why the sudden change in terms?

are you...Jun 6th, 2008 - 13:53:06

really that stupid, noharness? It is the typical neocon game. If they change the name then the problem doesn't exist. If it doesn't exist them they don't have to do anything about it. It's like putting water in a Good Scotch. All you get is diluted peat bog, not Ambrosia. Stop being an Ostrich and hiding your head up your butt.

What I particuarly like is he describes a huge world war fought over dwindling oil supplies and yes Global Warming is there as well.
Amazing stuff from a guy that fought in the Battle of Bighorn and even more remarkable when you think that the book was first published in 1933 and is still in print.
Try and find a second-hand copy on E-Bay for a couple of dollars.

Battle of the Little Bighorn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Strength
Believed to be 949 lodges (probably 900 - 1,800 warriors) 31 officers,
566 troopers,
15 armed civilians,
~35-40 scouts
Casualties and losses
Believed to be at least 36 killed, ~168 wounded
(according to Sitting Bull); or 136 killed, 160 wounded (according to Red Horse) ~268 killed (16 officers, 242 troopers, 10 civilians/scouts),
~55 wounded

[Battle of the Little Bighorn—also known as Custer's Last Stand, and, in the parlance of the relevant Native Americans, the Battle of the Greasy Grass—was an armed engagement between a Lakota-Northern Cheyenne combined force and the 7th Cavalry of the United States Army. It occurred between June 25 and June 26, 1876, near the Little Bighorn River in the eastern Montana Territory.

The battle was the most famous action of the Indian Wars, and was a remarkable victory for the Lakota and Northern Cheyenne, led by Sitting Bull. The U.S. Seventh Cavalry, of which a column of seven-hundred men led by George Armstrong Custer, was defeated; Custer himself was killed in the engagement along with two of his brothers.
