As he addressed the gathering predominantly of doctors, especially cardiologists and cardio-vascular specialists, the 2007 Nobel laureate sought to see similarities in the role of the heart in the human body with the hydrological cycle of the earth. Just as the heart's regular beating helped in the distribution of blood to the various parts of the body, water moves through processes of evaporation, condensation and precipitation to return through rivers and streams to work its way back to the ocean, he said.Might he be implying that the heart's metabolic activity is responsible for global warming?

Are you joking? I thought the analogy was pretty cool.

Please note the post's label.
The earth's hydrological system works more like the bladder or intestine than the heart, it seems.
I know mine have gone through periods of drought and excess hydration. The water comes and goes with no pumping motion, but in the end maintains a fabulous equilibrium.
If something occurs to upset the equilibrium, the body compensates to restore it in due time. Al Gore is the kind of false prophet to see doom in a little diarrhea.
Bad timing for jimbino... there seems to be quite a story coming out of Haiti that has something to do with diarrhea and water.
And to link it up with India, read up on their water problems - both longstanding and more to come.
A little diarrhea, my foot.
