Yeah. What do y'all on the list think of the theory that the Gulf

Stream will slow or stop and plunge the northern hemisphere into

another ice age?

How convenient that Petroleum Co. and Conoco should merge

and move their corporate HQ to the Texas Gulf coast.

North America, after a couple hundred years or so it'll abruptly end and

turn extremely hot.
