On the coldest week of the year, at least in Ft. Wayne, the UN science group (think) released their report that the Earth is warming and that man is very, very, very, almost certainly, nearly without doubt, virtually definitely, just about positively, all but unquestionably, responsible for it. Dang, just over a month after being named Time’s man of the year, I find out I’m responsible for global warming. Lucky thing the guys at Time didn’t hear about this before they voted. Not only that, but the group think scientist believe the disaster is going to last for the next 100 years. Didn’t Al Gore predict the end of the world in less than ten years in his dopey movie? Somebody has clearly misplaced their decimal point. Go back and check your math.
Now, the radical global warming nut jobs or GWNJs are condemning everybody that doesn’t agree with them by referring to them as global warming deniers, as in Holocaust deniers or Nazis. So whatever you do don’t tell the next unwashed hippie or Al gore fat cat jetting around on a G-5 aircraft from their 30,000 square foot home by the sea to their 40,000 square foot home in the mountains, as if it were a Prius, that you don’t buy the hogwash they are selling. They will taunt you with names but no certifiable facts to support the case.
As proof positive as to what the GWNJs are all about, look at this from, who else, the French:
From NY Times.com:
PARIS, Jan. 31 — President Jacques Chirac has demanded that the United States sign both the Kyoto climate protocol and a future agreement that will take effect when the Kyoto accord runs out in 2012.
But he warned that if the United States did not sign the agreements, a carbon tax across Europe on imports from nations that have not signed the Kyoto treaty could be imposed to try to force compliance. The European Union is the largest export market for American goods.
“A carbon tax is inevitable,” Mr. Chirac said.
IT'S ABOUT THE MONEY! Now once this tax is imposed, does anyone seriously believe that it will ever be lifted, like say when scientist start predicting the next ice age in about two years? Don’t go soft. Even if the global warming scare is true, we have between 10 and 100 years of the good life ahead of us. When some know-it-all starts talking about "us" making sacrifices to “save the planet” my reaction is always the same, “You believe this crap but you aren’t changing your lifestyle. I don’t believe this crap, so why should I change mine? You go first.”
But don’t panic. Here’s the word from a former GWNJ:
From the National Post Canada.com
Astrophysicist Nir Shariv, one of Israel's top young scientists, describes the logic that led him -- and most everyone else -- to conclude that SUVs, coal plants and other things man-made cause global warming.
Step One Scientists for decades have postulated that increases in carbon dioxide and other gases could lead to a greenhouse effect.
Step Two As if on cue, the temperature rose over the course of the 20th century while greenhouse gases proliferated due to human activities.
Step Three No other mechanism explains the warming. Without another candidate, greenhouses gases necessarily became the cause.
All we have on which to pin the blame on greenhouse gases, says Dr. Shaviv, is "incriminating circumstantial evidence," which explains why climate scientists speak in terms of finding "evidence of fingerprints." Circumstantial evidence might be a fine basis on which to justify reducing greenhouse gases, he adds, "without other 'suspects.' " However, Dr. Shaviv not only believes there are credible "other suspects," he believes that at least one provides a superior explanation for the 20th century's warming.
"Solar activity can explain a large part of the 20th-century global warming," he states, particularly because of the evidence that has been accumulating over the past decade of the strong relationship that cosmic- ray flux has on our atmosphere. So much evidence has by now been amassed, in fact, that "it is unlikely that [the solar climate link] does not exist."
"Wow! There’s a thought worth studying – the sun! The sun causes global warming. Whoda thunk it? Occam's razor, the most likely answer is probably the correct one.
