If a landslide took place in 1850 that was even more devastating how can we say that this occurrence is not just a natural fluctuation with the mountain range? I am not trying to suggest that global warming is not a threat but as of now I feel it is a phantom menace. Evidence is far too shallow to scream the sky is falling just yet, and when I see yahoo and ABC.com asking the public for evidence and examples of global warming something hints that there is a tad of fluff and spin at work.
