The Great Global Warming Myth

Proponents say the debate is over. This is because it has become increasingly difficult to defend their position. Events are proving them wrong. People are making jokes about global warming as they shovel snow in April, May, and even June.

Climate change is the new catch phrase. At least climate change is true. The climate always has and always will change. It's like saying the wind blows. Many noted scientists never ascribed to global warming. Now many others are abandoning the global warming ship. They recognize a lost cause when they see it.

The Antarctic ice mass is increasing and global temperatures have been cooling for eleven years. The EPA says this cooling trend will continue until 2030. This is about the same thirty year cycle that has been repeated ever since we have recorded temperature data. Temperatures cool for about thirty years; then temperatures warm for about thirty years.

Carbon levels have been consistently and gradually rising for many years. Through these years temperatures have both cooled and warmed in cycles. The level of carbon does not seem to effect it. This is illustrated by the global cooling that occurred from the mid 1940's to the mid 1970's.

In the early 1970's politicians, scientists, and the media predicted a new Ice Age. We were warned that we would all freeze to death. It didn't happen. This was followed by thirty years of warming. In 1998 the next cooling cycle began. Facts seem to indicate that the climate cycles about every thirty years and that these cycles are not effected by carbon emissions.

Why are we even considering Cap + Trade?? Believers in global warming do not want facts. Their minds are already made up. I wish Congress would view this issue with an open mind and stop being "Chicken Littles".

Effecting the Environment

From April 23, 2009:

To Congress,

We need to be very cautious when we seek to effect the environment. We simply do not know enough. We have a multitude of theories, but they are only theories. They are not proven fact. Changes we make which effect the environment, even with the best intentions, can have unexpected and undesired results. Dr. Shindell's (NASA Goddard Institute of Space Studies) research indicates that Arctic warming in large part was created by laws introduced to improve air quality and fight acid rain. Sulfur emissions were limited and without sulfates too many of the sun's rays were entering the atmosphere instead of being reflected out. The government is now considering a plan to replace these sulfates. I repeat, we do not know enough.

In the 1970's, we were told another Ice Age was coming. Now we have global warming. However, the Antarctic ice mass is increasing and temperatures have been decreasing for the last 10 years. Some have actually said that this decrease only proves global warming. No doubt they also believe in little green men from Mars. This climate pattern had been repeated for many, many years. I repeat, we do not know enough.

Proposed solar power sites in California and Nevada are being objected to by Park Services, which says they will adversely effect the aquifer, and plant and animal life, and is an unwise use of land. I repeat, we do not know enough.

When we seek to change our environment, we need to proceed very cautiously and carefully consider what the effect will be. There is an old saying: Don't fool with Mother Nature.
