Verbosities

I have problems with all the kooks that are crying about global warming and the harm it is doing to Mother Earth. You know science is suspect when those shouting the loudest claim "the evidence cannot be denied" or "the science is settle" are simply building a wall to back up their claim by ignoring those who disagree.

Thus, this article interested me. The Canadians have it right.

Climate stability has never been a feature of planet Earth. The only constant
about climate is change; it changes continually and, at times, quite rapidly.
Many times in the past, temperatures were far higher than today, and
occasionally, temperatures were colder. As recently as 6,000 years ago, it was
about 3C warmer than now. Ten thousand years ago, while the world was coming out of the thou-sand-year-long "Younger Dryas" cold episode, temperatures rose as
much as 6C in a decade -- 100 times faster than the past century's 0.6C warming
that has so upset environmentalists.

Let's think of it in simpler terms. Watch your local news and the weather report. I assume most places report record highs alongside the day's high temperature. Though it occurs, most of the time the highest temperature on record is from years ago. Not the last couple of years but decades. How can that be with all the global warming?

The problem is that global warming is now an industry. Those who trumpet it the loudest are the ones making the money. It is in Al Gore's best interest to distort the science that backs him up while ignoring the findings that are contradictory. He has a movie and books to sell, let alone a concert and all those cool Hollywood people to hang out with. All the while doing little to shrink his own carbon footprint.

Governments around the world need to get all of the facts before they start passing laws and taking drastic measure in reaction to the supposed threat of global warming. Millions of dollars has already be wasted in these efforts. But what will be done when it is global cooling that is the concern, not warming?

Solar scientists predict that, by 2020, the sun will be starting into its
weakest Schwabe solar cycle of the past two centuries, likely leading to
unusually cool conditions on Earth. Beginning to plan for adaptation to such a
cool period, one which may continue well beyond one 11-year cycle, as did the
Little Ice Age, should be a priority for governments. It is global cooling, not
warming, that is the major climate threat to the world, especially Canada. As a
country at the northern limit to agriculture in the world, it would take very
little cooling to destroy much of our food crops, while a warming would only
require that we adopt farming techniques practiced to the south of us.
