There was an article in the Wisconsin Energy Cooperative News the May 2007 issue about GlobalWarming. It is too long to cut and paste but here is a link to it. http://www.wecnmagazine.com/2007issues/may/may07.html#1 This is by Reid A. Bryson holds the 30th PhD in Meteorology granted in the history of American education. Emeritus Professor and founding chairman of the University of Wisconsin Department of Meteorology—now the Department of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences—in the 1970s he became the first director of what’s now the UW’s Gaylord Nelson Institute of Environmental Studies. He’s a member of the United Nations Global 500 Roll of Honor—created, the U.N. says, to recognize “outstanding achievements in the protection and improvement of the environment.” He has authored five books and more than 230 other publications and was identified by the British Institute of Geographers as the most frequently cited climatologist in the world. He beleivesthat we are nearing the end of the Little Ice Age and returning to "normal". He cites that Greenland was once farmed and is returning to that with the receiding Glaciers. Glaciers receiding in Switzerland are showing mines that have tools piled up ready to work the mine. It also has to do with the cycles of the sun which is warming. Man has very little influance overthe warming or cooling of the earth.
