It is July here in Texas, and it's hot. But guess what, its always hot in Texas in July. Well that's the weather report.
But
here's my take on the assertion that global warming is caused by human
productivity. If the Earth is truly in a warming cycle, all of science,
history, archeology, and the larnin' I done when I was just a little
tyke tells me that it ain't nothin' new.
We know there have been historically warmer and cooler epochs in
pre-history and historical eras. And as far as I know, there weren't
any SUV's or Power Plants or Nukes or enough human activity to make
dent at the time.
The "Global Warming Hystericals" haven't
proved a thing. All they've got going for them is an apocalyptic fear
of some imagined disastrous future and a fraudulent faith that anything man does is harmful to the Earth and Nature, so therefore, man is causing Global Warming.
I
am highly suspicious of people who think that all of a sudden our world
will come to an end and want to take control over large portions of my
life and not to mention the world's commerce in order to save it. What
better way to put everyone under control than to convince them that if
we don't do as they say, the world will end. That is the essence of
their message. They want to control your world. Make you stop driving
your car. No grilling in the backyard! Oh, forget about going to work
to make a living and put food on the table, your job will disappear
because it probably causes pollution, anyway. Get in line for the
Government cheese. Oh, wait a minute! Cheese comes from cows, and cows
produce methane (a greenhouse gas) in large quantities. No more cows,
no more cheese. You're going to have to eat dirt.
All
this while Al Gore lives in two mansions and has a bigger "carbon
footprint" than I will ever hope to have. Make no mistake. This whole
thing, for those who are pushing it the hardest, is about taking
control of you, your life, your government, the world. Because, only
they can save us.
