		<description>I have to adamantly disagree with your column.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The so-called evolution happening in lions is not true.  Evolution takes thousands of years to occur not 40.  The bees are disappearing because of the outrageous use of pesticides on crops, namely corn from which ethanol that accounts for 10% of our gas comes from, and if the left has it their way, 100%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ice is a result of cold temperatures, it is not a conscious decision of the earth to create it.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Compared to the rest of the history of this planet we are in a period of abnormally cool temperatures with extremely low CO2 concentrations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Only the hubris of (wo)man allows us to feel important enough to impact the climate on this planet.  If you were to take the time that earth has existed, and overlay it to the diameter of the earth, human existence would roughly make up the distance from Brooklyn to Manhattan.  Another way to look at is to say that humans have been around for 0.00067% of the time that earth has been here.  Before us the earth experience catastrophic events that far exceed the effects of mild temperature increases caused by CO2 increases.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We&#039;re not that important, in the blink of an eye we could be gone and in another the earth would move on and things would return to a new but natural state. </description>

		<description>I have a feeling that some people have no idea what you are saying.  Human activity on earth often have undesirable effects but we have delusions of grandeur to believe we have more affect than the natural scheme of things.  This is a fact:  No matter what humans do, all things in this world seek neutrality.  This is the reason heavy objects fall, avalanches occur, winds subside, volcanos and earthquakes occur.  Based on what man knows, the earth has undergone three ice ages throughout it&#039;s time.  History always repeats itself, there will be another ice age no matter what humans do.   </description>

		<description>Interesting Steve! Free speech on the internet is a good thing, but you don&#039;t have to listen to those who disregard good manners and who base their thinking on a THEORY which has no evidence to uphold it. &lt;br /&gt;
Keep writing mate! the naysayers can hopefully &quot;evolve&quot; into something a bit bigger than the fleas they are :)</description>
