Confession: I think global warming is a scam. . .
October 14, 2009
Many of my friends on the Left (and some of you on the Right) have suspected for years that I was skeptical of the whole global warming concept. Does man impact climate in some way? Sure, I will give you that. But I believe that the changes in climate that have been going on for millions of years will continue with or without our help. Why make this admission today? Simple, the world has gone mad.
The New York Times is reporting that Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries are demanding the US and the EU compensate them for reduced oil consumption due to their programs to combat global warming. You have to be kidding me! The entire world is lined up at the doorstep of the US and EU asking for money in exchange for our CO2 production. I wish Obama would stand up at the UN and proclaim, “Not one dime!” Billions of dollars are being pumped into imaginary businesses that trade carbon credits. All of this madness is based on the premise that global warming is a crisis.
You won’t hear about this in the mainstream media in the US, but the rest of the world is beginning to take note of an ‘inconvenient truth‘: the globe has been cooling for the past decade and leading scientists are suggesting we could have as many as 30 more years of ‘global cooling’. International leaders (not Obama) have called the climate change debate a “weapon of mass taxation“. They are right.
So what is the truth? NASA claims the hottest year on the earth happened in 1934. Our CO2 emissions have continued to grow – precipitously, but at the same time the earth’s temperature appeared to stabilize blowing up all of Al Gore’s predictions. What is going on? With the surge in CO2 global warming was assured, right? Not so fast, new scientific findings point to a much bigger influence on global temperatures – it isn’t CO2 as we previously assumed – it is the temperature of the oceans. Evidently the oceans have been cooling over the last decade and are in a thirty year cooling cycle. After the 30s, the hottest period on record, the Pacific ocean went through a cooling cycle until 1977 when the ocean began to warm again. The warming period lasted until 1998 and then entered into another 30 year cooling trend.
At the end of the day I don’t know if CO2 causing warming. I don’t know if the ocean does it. I don’t know if sun spots cause warming. It doesn’t really matter. The answer is NOT more taxes on my business or my family. It is not transferring MORE wealth from the US to Saudi Arabia. If we want to reduce CO2 I say we actually reduce CO2 by generating more power from emission free sources like nuclear and solar. We need to stop building new coal plants. We need to convert the existing coal plants to natural gas. Nuclear is the best solution for America – it reduces our dependence on foreign oil and reduces CO2 emissions. The waste is cleaner than coal waste and is easier to contain.
So there you have it – global warming (real or not) is a scam. Don’t fall for it.
