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.

For one thing, the atmosphere is six sextillion tons of gas. Now just how much "god knows what" do you think we gasify every year? "The essence of poison is not the substance but the dose." Basic principle of toxicology. Think about it.
Firts of all C02 is not a pollutant, it is the food that nourishes Mother Earth. Second of all, the Earth has been warming for millenia and here's a prediction for ya.
The Earth will warm, the Earth will cool, galciers will reced, glaciers will expand, ocean levels will rise and ocean levels will fall.
No one here will answer that.
I'd really like to hear some level headed scientific response to this report.
Guaranteed any author with the gumption to do so and sponsors of such a report is going be vilified and hilloried pilloried by media and GW sharks in the current feeding frenzy.
It was in an article that spoke of an apparent increase in solar out-put....the question was whether or not the sun's radiation was actually in creasing or whether or not we had moved into a region of "clearer" space. The data does show in multiple sources an increase in apparent reflectivity from other solar bodies as well as an increase in warming on Mars over the past decade or so...the cause is still being questioned...if I can find the source again I'll link it!
