| You do realize, don't you, that this is a cool period in the history of the Earth. Prior to the beginning of our current ice age, they were a fair bit higher than they are now. OMG no! You are talking nonsense! I mean, OK, if you are looking at the entire history of the earth and geological periods... |

| I prefer to say I'm autistic rather than I have autism, mainly because it's less clunky. I like to be economical in my communication. And it seems more appropriate, since autism is not a disease. |

I would not call it hysteria. We are getting to the point now where the science is established enough that governments and companies may find themselves being sued if they do not start taking it seriously and act accordingly. |

| Warming is good for us. It makes the Earth a more productive resource and brings on abundance and prosperity. No, I can't agree with this... on a basic level, warmth provides more energy, but the current warming is occurring so rapidly that plant and animal life will struggle. I was going to give s... |

| I have seen so much conflicting information on the health benefits or hazards of dairy, and cow's milk in particular. For example: - cow's milk is supposed to be more natural than milk alternatives BUT is it natural to feed humans on calf food? - yogurt, butter and cheeses are important foods in Eur... |

Still getting headaches and fatigue, joint pains etc. I don't really know what else I can do, until the doctor puts m... |
