Re: Environment
If anyone cares to look back at the climate of our world we will notice the change over the centuries.
1 Antarctic was a green and pleasant land at one time.
2. Greenland was Green and full of Forests.
3. The North of England could grow and did grow vines.
An Ice age gripped the planet and the world changed.
Could this be the end of natures ice age?

A number of ports, including Antwerp, Singapore, and Fujairah have already banned their use in their ports and Gibraltar is considering it.
Piny (#22) was correct in that mother nature is still boss as she has just demonstrated in perhaps the most powerful capital in the world, Washington D C., no doubt she still has a lot of tricks up her sleeve, a lot of volcanos are rumbling.
