WHY AM I SKEPTICAL ABOUT MAN-MADE GLOBAL WARMING?

WHY AM I SKEPTICAL ABOUT MAN-MADE GLOBAL WARMING?

A 21-page report from something called the "Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change" has been released today...in Paris, no less...and as expected, it's predictions are dire. According to the report: "Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global mean sea level." Yeah right...we've heard all this before.

But the biggest bombshell here is this one: no matter what we do, global warming will not be reversed. It will go on for centuries, according to this report. The sea levels will continue to rise as polar ice caps melt. So I guess if Al Gore wins his Nobel Peace Prize, we'll still experience global warming. So much for riding to work everyday in your hybrid car...it's not doing a thing. The situation is futile, according to this report.

But really, it makes sense that the global warming crowd would come to this conclusion. After all, global warming is a religion. The anti-capitalist enviro-nazis don't ever want the problem to be solved. After all, if global warming were to be solved tomorrow, what would they blame the United States for? They'd have to find some other reason.

Sorry .. I'm still a skeptic. In no particular order here are just a few of the reasons why I'm not buying this man-made global warming scare:

The United Nations is anti-American and anti-Capitalist. In short .. I don't trust them. Not a bit. The UN would eagerly engage in any enterprise that would weaken capitalist economies around the world.

It is difficult to get too worked up about the scare campaign unless and until the enviros become pro-nuclear. As it stands now, the ecofreak position is that global warming will end the world as we know it, but Yucca Mountain is a greater threat because some unwary person 300,000 years from now might inadvertently be exposed.

That wasn't a Texas politician. IIRC, it was Bobby Knight, the basketball coach.

I used to sell cars, the process is one of persuasion, browbeating, play-acting, buttering-up the customer, getting a piece of his attention and a buck from his wallet and then, then and then only you bring in the big gun to make "The Close;" this report from the IPCC represents "The Close," they've put all of their arguments in one slick package and they got to sell it now, today.

Why the weeklong playup to today's release of a supposedly embargoed report if it wasn't for dramatic effect.

Many have chuckled at the irony of these announcements being made in the middle of the North American winter but it was a calculated scheme.

It works like this: People are going broke heating their houses and their cars to get about their daily lives and looking forward to warmer weather so they are stuck in the house when not at work or shoveling, the perfect captive audience to beat over the head.

Soon, the natural changes will work their magic and people will forget the cold, bitter memories of their misery in winter and the earth will heat up once again.

But now, what with the memory of the dire warning from February still in place, each overly warm day, wherever found, will be announced loudly and often as another sign of the apocalypse to come.

No, these people who make these proclamations aren't dummies, quite the reverse -- they are shrewd mind changers and recent polls show they're winning, and winning big.

Buckle up your your carbon belts, we're in for a noisy ride.

he may have said it to but so did Clayton Williams:

During the 1990 Texas gubernatorial race, Republican contender (against the late Ann Richards) Clayton Williams (for whom I grudgingly voted) cause a big stir by quipping to reporters about rain, “It's a lot like rape. As long as it's inevitable, you might as well lie back and enjoy it.”

Just finished Witness by Whittaker Chambers.

He quotes someone with a real insight: the poor tend to vote Democrat, the rich tend to be Republicans, and the super rich tend to Communism.

Kind of puts the New Deal and all the Global alarmists in context, doesn't it?

Unfair! Ptolemy was one of the greatest astronomers and scientists in history. (The tagline I've been using for the last few days is a quote from the introduction to Almagest.) Al Gore is a dilettante and a huckster.

"I'd really like to hear some level headed scientific responsee to this report."

Did you see this link posted this morning:
http://epw.senate.gov/hearing_statements.cfm?id=266543

Note the part about when NPR called this scientist...
That will explain why you will be hard pressed to hear
REAL scientific responses.

If we can't do anything about it, why don't they shut up about Global Warming and go away?

The earth seems to have a way of cleaning up anything we do or have done in the past. Natural occurrences like volcanic eruption's have been the earths heaviest polluters that anything man has yet to do. Little exceptions. But the Sun has a mind of it's own. And we are a part of a universe that is ever changing. There seems to be a clock that is cycling everything that is the major contributor to any real climate change. I'm very old and have lived through many of these ups and down trends. Even because we are not the controller of this universal patterns, we still should be careful and diligent in doing what we can to keep our planet cleaner.

But this left crap and their continual distortion is nothing more than a political hack job. Simple! I remember back many years ago I worked in a foundry. The cupola emit tons of gasses and fine dust. The foundry installed a huge water run cleaner to remove most of the dust and altered some of the gasses. This company constantly upgraded with the help of engineers and the State. Pollution cleanup has been going on all of my life. Why now it is such a political problem and they make it sound like we have done nothing in the past. Autos have been improved and some states have smog enforcement. The best thing the left can do is shut up, and for once help with the problem instead of bitch, bitch, bitch.

As for the UN? What the crap???????

The climate is never in equalibrium. Over long (relative to us) periods of time it gets warmer, it gets colder. The non-PC data suggests we are in a warming period and it may actually be that it is the oceans that are warming. That is why ice on/near the oceans is melting but inland it is growing in many places. That is why the seas are not rising with all the alleged melting going on.

Regardless, what would you prefer: global warming or global cooling?

Why, living with danger is part of living.

I have no problem living with danger. I do have a problem equating Terrorism with Global Warming. You seem to imply that the Bush administration cooked up the terrorism "hobgoblin" solely to keep the American people frightened and manipulative, just as Algore and the Left are attempting to do with the hobgoblin of Global Warming. And if they didn't cook it up, they are certainly going to use it to that end. I reject that.

The day after 911 an airplane full of little old ladies would have kicked the asses of box cutter wielding Muslims.

If that were true, flight 93 would've landed safely. Lemme guess, you're an Alex Jones fan, right?

I have a question. How can anyone believe we can dump pounds and pounds of carbon monoxide, CO2 and god knows what into the atmosphere without ANY negative effect? Even if you dont believe in global warming you must admit that pollution is a BAD thing right?

I DO believe in global warming and, yes, pollution is a bad thing and we should do all that is feasible to curb it. However, I don't believe that the global warming situation is all this big "man-caused" disaster that the bed wetters are claming. If man-caused, why are both Mars and Pluto indicating "signs" of global warming. The only common denominator is the sun.

I'd really like to hear some level headed scientific responsee to this report.

They will be there, never fear. You may have to hunt for them though.

we also seem to have moved into a region of space in which there is much less intervening dust or so I've read.

Do you happen to recall where you read that? I haven't heard it before.
