And then my mother who used two teaspoons of sugar in each cup of coffee, three or four cups in the morning, and ate lots of sugar filled desserts and candy, lived a healthy life to the age of 95. She was not the least bit obese and only lost one tooth in all those years. Go figure.


That is why they call it "Practicing" Medicine.
Research will never end.

PNagy. Who said global warming? I said "climate change" which includes the not too many years ago fear of earth cooling.

Isn't a warm climate good for growing sugar crops?

"Climate change" is a euphemism for global warming. It implies that the change might be either warming or cooling, but is in fact, only warming. Like Howard Cosell, I tell it as it is. You are caught up in the rhetorical games associated with your denial.

If you wish to show that you have an iota of credibility, at least learn proper typographic conventions. The number of spaces between sentences is not optional; it is one.

Complete Manual on Typography (2003): "The typewriter tradition of separating sentences with two word spaces after a period has no place in typesetting" and the single space is "standard typographic practice."

As soon as you show you have the intelligence to catch onto something that basic, the actual merits of what you write may come into consideration. Until then, you show only that even in many decades you could not learn the basics of writing.

There will be some local benefits to global warming, but the overall effects will be devastating. Some places will actually cool, because of the shift in ocean and air currents. These will turn some current deserts into arable land. Most of the areas that are heated up will not be arable, because there will be stifling heat, faster evaporation of ground water, thus, more desertification. Rising shorelines due to melting glaciers... An absolute devastation will ensue.

RE #3: The past few summers have convinced me that we are experiencing some global warming, and I don't think it is the Fires of Hell rising to the surface of the earth. Is it caused by man, and do we want to revert to 18th century living? The honest discussions should be about whether there is really warming (or cooling), or are the changes just a natural cycle and not man made? The dinosaurs didn't die from over hunting but rather from global cooling, but a warming trend followed. Most of the reliable reports I've seen, not including those from Al Gore and cronies, have said the actual warming in the past half century or so has only been about one degree or less. I will concede the point that the third world (and China) are the major air polluters and are not helping the situation, and they have to recognize that the developed countries can't solve all the problems despite while they still pollute. The politicians aren't helping when they preach to extract more tax money that they can 'fritter away' on pet projects, not necessarily pollution related, or maybe the problem is just the researchers having found a new source or money; every report supporting warming or cooling gets them more funding!

Top CO2 emissions in 2014 (millions of metric tons)

China: 10,540,000

United States 5,334,000

European Union 3,415,000


highest CO2 emissions in 2014 metric tons per capita

1. Qatar: 40.3
2. Trinidad and Tobago: 38.2
3. Kuwait: 31.3
4. Luxembourg: 21.4
5. Oman: 20.4
6. United Arab Emirates: 19.9
7. Bahrain: 19.3
8. United States: 17.6

Not one of the major populous countries pollutes more per capita than the US. Let us compare us with most our neighbors in the Western Hemisphere.

United States: 17.6
Canada: 14.67
Belize: 1.35
Bolivia: 1.56
Chile: 4.22
Colombia: 1.63
Costa Rica: 1.67
Cuba: 3.41
Ecuador: 2.26
El Salvador: 1.01
Guatemala: 0.77
Honduras: 1.07
Mexico: 3.91
Paraguay: 0.79
Peru: 1.98
Uruguay: 1.97
Venezuela: 6.96
Brazil: 2.15

Perhaps you could explain which country needs to cut down on its pollution before the US, and why.

Hahahaha....


Diniers = those who disagree with you.

PS: The "low fat" thing came about as a response to some shady research by Ancel Keys in the 60's...not the "sugar industry"

I would think that possibly a swift kick in the ass might be a better prescription.

Although there are occasionally some incorrect word and grammatical usage errors on the UHH, they generally aren't serious enough to cause PNagy's recent rant. Who appointed him the English usage Czar, or "Editor in Chief", and does anyone really give a hoot (I'm being polite) if there are two spaces between sentences? The error doesn't make either sentence easier or more difficult to read, and proper type setting is not even a minor issue here; we are not setting type . I doubt that anyone on the UHH, except perhaps PNagy, has seen any complaint(s) about the one or two space issue since they took Typing or Keyboarding class(es) in Elementary or High School.

Can we keep the post issues here on photography as the forum was started? Maybe the bulk of us should just avoid commenting on the Non-photography posts
