A gal at the grocery store behind me today was buying about four of those stupid "Save the Planet" reusable shopping bags. I wanted to ask her: "So, you believe in Santa Claus, too? Quick -- how old is the earth? Quick -- how long have we been here?"
Quick -- how many millions of years since the dinosaurs crapped out, after being made extinct how many times? How many times have the polar ice caps melted and refrozen? If you don't know, you can find out what geology says about it, and also consider your own eyewitness of landscapes with old coastlines of eons ago now high and dry. Quick -- what was the sea level in Florida 20,000 years ago? Quick -- what was the sea level in Florida 120,000 years ago? Quick -- what is 20,000 years to 150,000 years versus the measly, piddly, miniscule timescale we know of our own selves, our written history of which isn't one tenth of that
The global climate question is a ludicrous thing to even ponder from our human standpoint in reality, knowlege, and time. All you need is a basic background of some various geologic discoveries to figure that one out. It's math.
Only a gullible person buys the man-caused global warming "issue," and people are only gullible when they're ignorant. Newt and Romney are that ignorant and that gullible. My vote goes elsewhere.
LOL. Finny, I wish you would have asked her, but I fully understand I know why you didn’t. I wouldn’t have bothered either. I knew from the start that global warming was a hoax because when I was in school, predictions of a new ice age were a momentary rage. Like you said, beware of gullible politicans. They’re almost always looking for more control over us through our pocketbooks.
