[PCA] Fw: Vines Take Over Southern U.S. Forests - Global warming to blame, again! CLARIFICATION!

[Patricia_DeAngelis at fws.gov]

I'm glad this posting is generating some discussion.  To clarify, my 
intent is not to deny global warming or rising CO2 levels at all.  Rather, 
I want to warn against disconnecting regular everyday people and regular 
everyday issues/actions from the - the way regular people have been 
removed from the equation when it comes to understanding modern medicine. 
Otherwise, "global warming" will just turn into another buzzword like 
"sustainability" and "partnerships" and then people will just begin to 
ignore it. 

Thanks,
-Patricia
