Last night, my wife brought up global warming and some points she saw on a web site.  She knows that I do not believe in global warming, so she immediately said that she thought they had some good ideas to clean up the environment. That of course makes me go ballistic. That is an apples and oranges argument.

Cleaning up the air and water is something that everyone on the planet agrees with. I doubt that one person on the planet thinks we should be polluting the planet. Everyone would therefore want to clean up the environment that we do have. But, that is an entirely different argument than talking about reducing carbon emissions and the like.

I pointed out to her the fact that the new “environmentally friendly” bulbs we will be forced to purchase in the next few years actually have a bigger carbon footprint than the regular light bulb they are replacing. The issue involved is not reducing the carbon footprint of people; it is controlling people’s lives.

Michael Crichton has a quote that says that the global warming crowd is actually a religion. It has its creation, Garden of Eden, penance and everything else that every main stream religion has including faith. They have faith because they cannot prove their global warming claims. The high priest of global warming would be Al Gore. He even does for the global warming religion what the 14^th century Catholics did, sell indulgences.

In another article I read, the author made the point that during the medieval warm period, the Vikings could grow crops in Greenland. Crops cannot currently be grown in Greenland. If current trends continue, that may happen in 50-60 years. Throughout the history of the world the climate has changed. It has been warmer than it is today and it has been colder than today. What makes global warming believers think that this period of warming is any different than any of the thousands of warming periods in the past? Logic itself would say that this warming period is similar to other warming periods. Logic would also say that man may influence local climate. The earth’s climate is too vast for the puny amounts of pollutants we put out to influence the overall climate. One volcano puts out more “greenhouse” gases in one eruption than we put out in one year.

At one of the other Community Colleges in my district, they are having a day long workshop to promote global warming. I want to go over there and tell them the truth. Unfortunately, I do not believe that they would listen to the truth if it was presented to them. Global warming believers have their minds shut to the facts. They only believe the people that promote doom and gloom. They do not believe scientific facts that are developed all of the time that debunks the major ideas behind global warming. There are never scientific studies that point to global warming being true. Just scientific articles that say man caused global warming is false.

One other thing my wife said, the web site had pictures of the ice sheets in the Antarctic. My wife said you could see the changes as it got bigger and smaller over time. The caption below the pictures just talked about the ice sheets melting. That the ice sheets got bigger and smaller over time would be perfectly natural and should have been identified by the caption. Obviously the person writing the caption for the picture had an agenda and was not going to let facts get in the way. That is so typically true of those that believe in global warming. They never let facts get in the way of their belief system.

Al Gore is going around saying that global warming is even worse than he had thought. He is just a scaremonger. In the next 10 years he will have been found out to have been a fraud. Of course, undoing all the damage he will do between now and then will be expensive. Al Gore and the global warming believers want to impose communism on us to “solve” global warming. That will really solve global warming. It will put the economies of the world back to the 18^th century. Only the rich and powerful communist leaders will have anything like the lifestyles of the 21^st century we live in. Even they will have to cut back as the world sinks back to the 20^th, then the 19^th, then the 18^th centuries. Where it will stop no-one knows. Will the economies of the world retreating into the 18^th century have any impact on global warming? No, it will have no impact at all.
