Does Deep Freeze Give the Lie to Global Warming?
With the deep south now experiencing unprecedented periods of arctic lows – even central and south Florida are dealing with extended icy threats to crops – is it time to question the legitimacy of so-called man-made global warming?
It has been pointed out, on National Geographics’ web site, that even Mars shows evidence of global warming. If this is true, then it certainly wasn’t caused by humans. Our Sun is a variable star. What role do natural variations in the energy output of the sun play in this story? And if we demonstrate that the Earth is undergoing significant warming on a global scale, then what role has humanity played in causing it? Given media reports in the US, one might think that the debate is settled – but the BBC has reported that there remains serious dissent in the scientific community over global warming.
But for the sake of the argument, let’s say the crisis is real. Then why not take some real steps towards solving it such as moving to nuclear power? Not only would this not release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere but, with the perfection of electric cars – it would also cut off the oil-based funding to global terrorists. Did you know that France powers a majority of their economy with nuclear energy – without record of a serious safety issue?
However, there is one problem with this plan: it doesn’t radically increase the power that the spendocrats in Washington DC crave over our lives. About 50% of our power comes from coal-fired plants. “Carbon credits” will transfer significant new tax revenues – and power – into the pockets of DC politicians – Nuclear will not.
Why not stop the charades and play “follow the money” on this one? Who will gain the most power over our lives by making global warming a national and global emergency?
I think you already know the answer to this one. The real question is: What are we going to do about it?
