The whole issue on global warming was based on the false premise that global warming was a bad thing. The earth has always prospered when warming takes place. Our real concern should be the world entering into another ice age.
Excellent comment!
1) Is there Global warming?
2) If there is, is it a bad thing?
3) If not, great! If it is a bad thing, can it be stopped by man’s activity?
4) If not, learn to live with it.
My understanding of the science is this:
Answer to Question #1 - Probably not outside the normal fluctuations of the last 10,000 years.
Q#2 - Having lived in both cold and hot climates, believe me, warmer is better, especially for growing food.
Q#3 - The contribution of anthropogenic (man-made) CO2 toward the Greenhouse Effect is minuscule. Therefore, curtailing anyone’s “Carbon Footprint” is asinine. Launching into space fleets of millions of reflectors to decrease solar warming, or injecting tons of SO2 into the upper atmosphere to increase clouds and the earth’s albedo (reflectance of sunlight) are likewise ridiculous ideas. Etc, etc, etc.
Q#4 - Right now, here in Hickory, NC we have snow on the ground. We’ve had some snow in shady spots on the ground since the week before Christmas. I just may be able to learn to live with warmer weather. I will try, I will really, really try.... :-)
