Rhetoric Drowns Out Sensible Options...
Wow...article after article claiming we're all gonna die unless ..."nearly every human being on the planet changes his/her behavior in fundamental ways" that 1) will be very expensive and 2) would take decades for the benefits to be felt. That's IF you believe CO2 is the driver of our current warming cycle that has come to a halt(notice I didn't say a cooling cycle has started). USA Today had an article offering a solution to the current warming that would cost one-thousandth !!! as much to implement and not require anyone to lessen their standard of living. Plus this solution could be up and running within a year and have an immediate impact. We wouldn't have to wait 50-100 years to see if it works. What is the solution? Create in the atmosphere the similar conditions that occurred after Mt. Pinatubo erupted back in 1991. That volcano sent huge amounts of sulfur dioxide (SO2) high into the stratosphere (35,000+ ft) where it combined with water vapor to produce a hazy blanket of thin clouds that cooled the Earth for the next 2 years. Engineers know how to do it so why won't it happen? Environmentalists will complain that we/man is again polluting the planet. They would rather punish the world and decrease the standards of living all for an unproved theory that CO2 is driving a warmer climate. Hummm...I vote to try the cheaper and easily verifiable solution first. If it doesn't work, as Mt. Pinatubo showed us after it stopped erupting, the atmosphere will cleanse itself and we can try something else. Why start with the most expensive solution first?

The Associated Press did a survey and claimed that the number of people believing that global warming is casued by man has dropped from 77% to 55% in the past 3 years. Thats encouraging that people are backing off the idea that global warming is man-made. The Times Picayune also had an article on global warming with a British researcher who said that the earth in the past couple of years went into cooling period and it is now warming rapidly again. I wish people could find something better to do with there time instead of blaming man for something they did not even do.
Man Made Global Warming is such a joke! The Earth's warmest year "recorded" was in 1998 and has cooled since then. If Al Gores "theory" (if you want to call it that) is inconsistent. If it was right why hasn't the Earth been steadily Warming since? We have still been burning fossil fuels, haven't we? Have we not been releasing CO2 gas? Its all a hoax folks! Its a hoax to make money. Its just another way for your government that you elected to take more money out of your wallet that you work hard 5 or more days a week to get. I know I am beating the dead horse but the Earth goes through short-term Natural Climatological Cycles within much more long-term Natural Climatological Cycles. These cycles are influenced by many different things such as the amount of Energy the sun is releasing to Volcanic Eruptions to the Earth's orbit(which also goes through cycles) and many other things that would take a long time to list. I am curious to see how long this MGW hoax will last. It could be a while considering that the Children of America are being brainwashed by their schools and their teachers that have very little scientific background and are easily swayed by these Global Warming extremists which happen to be in the media presenting their "doom and gloom" predictions. I am proud to say that I am not one of these brainwashed people. I think I have made my point.
ONLYREAL
I almost forgot.
I enjoyed reading the story you posted on the previous blog entry, Bourbon! Thanks for posting it. Its much appreciated.
Your welcome OnlyReal. I think the people who write these articles are getting so desperate or maybe the people influencing them to write it are. Or maybe the media is just doing some CYA to get this current administrations agenda passed, no matter what the cost.
I did like your little jab.....for your government that you elected.. knowing you cannot vote yet. Hey I didn't vote for this current admin..no way.
I don't ever think you should ever stop proving(writing)your point of view about those cycles the weather goes through...you make more sense than those elected officials.
Geez now I am ready for Monday night's game in the dome....6-0 here we come!!!
I won't stop criticizing those that try to take advantage of me until my heart stops beating. But I'm glad that you liked my little jab. Even though I cannot vote yet I still show little to no support for the current Administration. Although the last administration did a bad job too. One thing they have in common is that they want our money for the wrong reasons and when they get it they do not know how to manage it and this is why our Federal Government is in such a large debt(largest in the countries history) and the Founding Fathers would be horrified if they saw the state this country was in. I can tell you that this is not the same Government that was founded by "The People" way back when.
How about dem Saints? I'll be at the Game Monday. I read an article today Comparing the 2009 Saints to the 2007 Patriots at week 6 statistically. When they made the comparison they found that the 2009 Saints are statistically better than the 2007 Patriots (so far). It would be awesome if we could break their Single Season scoring record. If we beat the Falcons next Monday than it will be highly likely we will be playing the New England Patriots on Monday Night Football as a 10-0 Saints Team. I can't wait to see how far the Saints will go.
Well as Coach Payton would say, one game at a time. Oh that should be ahhh 7-0...
OnlyReal I agree with you Gov't runs everything it operates into the red. This started way back in 1935 called Social Security. Every President want to fix it, which it should have never been started to begin with...The government had to provide for our retirement and now look at it...
They had taken over the auto, banking industry and already have there hands in medicare. Now they want to take over everybody's health care and will bankrupt many insurance companies in the process. And this is not to mention the post office which it is bankrupt too.
Now they think they can control the weather.
Hmmmm..... That sounds an awful lot like Socialism. I sure hope our country does not resort to that type of economy/government. I wonder why the Politicians are pulling so hard for the public (the people) to get Government run Health Care yet in a recent poll more then 80% of the elected officials do not want the same Health Care plan that they plan to force upon the public. I fond that disturbing.
