   Roger Cohen is correct.  And he's no pants-pissing hillbilly.  He has a PhD in   
   physics from Rutgers.  Betcha $100 to a nickel he was born and raised in the   
   megalopolis.  Which is mostly flat.   
      
   And jeez, Kymster, wth does the title have to do with the message?  The   
   message is that we are going to roast ourselves with these greenhouse gases,   
   mostly attributable to burning petrol and coal.  What is YOUR carbon footprint?
