| Global Warming? It's a People Problem! |
| 2008-08-03 |
| Global Warming Did It! Well, Maybe Not. We're stuck on the notion that climate change is the culprit every time a natural disaster strikes. But that's just muddying the waters. We're heading into the heart of hurricane season, and any day now, a storm will barrel toward the United States, inspiring all the TV weather reporters to find a beach where they can lash themselves to a palm tree. We can be certain of two things: First, we'll be told that the wind is blowing very hard and the surf is up. Second, some expert will tell us that this storm might be a harbinger of global warming. |

| #5 phil b; yah, it is true that there have been marginal increases in snowfalls in the West Coast ski resorts. That indicates increased moisture. I attribute it to post Ice Age warming, and not to human caused factors. Not much pollution is being generated, west of LA. Al Gore - the $40,000,000 man - wraps bogus "Greenhouse Effect" claims in bona fide warming phenomenon. There is global warming, and there will be global cooling when the cycle reaches its next stage. |

| #2 Moreover, the evidence for man-made climate change is solid enough that it doesn't need to be bolstered by iffy claims. Heh. They just don't give up beating a dead horse do they. [rhetorical question]. |

| #1 999.999% of CO2 release comes from the oceans and lakes. Human beings are only bit players on this earth. Nature is the central cast. The above is not to deny that containment of certain chemical releases from factories, cannot or should not be regulated. |
