Opinion on Global Warming
I have been wondering what is really happening to our climate we hear all this information from Gore and many TV programmes about the fact we (Humans) are to blame for the Gobal warming, yet there are many nay sayers, I believed it after seeing Gores film, but now I am not so sure, what are your views on it .
There are many alternatives to fossil fuels such as solar power, use of wind to drive electricity and when its regulated safely nuclear power. All of these are viable solutions. Its just a matter of decreasing their expense and increasing their productivity. There will always be wars over political reasons and economic reasons but oil would not be a problem if we had viable alternative fuels. If electric cars were affordable that would be a big start.
First of all, notice that NOW Global Warming is usually called Climate Change. That's because "they" are having to admit that the climate has always fluctuated in cycles. So, to be politically correct, it is now Climate Change.
BUT, if WARMING was caused by CO2 emissions, then why did the climate begin to cool again after World War II for about 30 years? This cooling occurred at a time when emissions of CO2 were rising sharply from the reconstruction effort and from unprecedented development. *It is important to realize that.*
The experts during that period of time were warning of Global Cooling, and people were scared.
By 1978 it had started to warm again. After temps peaked in 1998 under the influence of El Nino, climate stopped warming for 8 years; and in 2007 entered a cooling phase marked by lower solar radiation and a reversal of the cycles of warm ocean temps in the Atlantic and the Pacific. *And here again, it is important to note that this new cooling period is occuring concurrently with an acceleration on CO2 emissions, caused by the emergence of two industrial giants: China and India.*
So, if it's not CO2, what is it that makes the world's temperature periodically rise and fall? The obvious answer is the sun, and sea currents in a subsidiary manner.
(I read this in The Washington Times, Jan. 30, 2009; article by David J. Bellamy and Mark Duchamp; but I did not quote the entire article...)
From the very beginning of the "Global Warming" scare, my gut told me it was hype. Remember the Y2K garbage? Anytime the government can get us all worked up about something, they can create a department and bilk more money out of us. Get us scared and you can separate us from our money....

I believe they have a cure for cancer, however, it will never be used because can you imagine what would happen in the medical industry? People would live, we would become over populated, multitudes of businesses would automatically be pulled under and closed, just the money made off of testing and treating cancer alone, would dramatically effect all aspects of our econemy. Doctors could also give you a cheaper home remedy for a lot of your ills, but if they did, would be put out of the medical field and their practices closed. And so, the issue of oil. Years ago, a man developed a system that ran on water. And you know what happened? One of the car companys bought him out and kept it from being patented.
Too big a loss in money. There will be wars over oil until the end of time and Chavez is sitting on a big chunk of the bounty.

It is definitely a political issue. I do agree that we need to make alot of changes in order to be energy independent. We do rely on other countries way too much for many things including oil. I am all for saving the environment. Like I said before, I clean homes and am very cautious about what products I use. I prefer to use green products. We also can be fooled into thinking something is a green product when it really isn't. It is the same with Fruits and Vegetables being organic. We'll there are not very harsh standards on what is organic or not. I have one woman that I take care of that is all about organic foods but she did not know that they painted the fruits and veges to make them look nice. We also rely too much on food being shipeed in from other countries and this has shown to become a real problem. I am like you all, I really want to see this beautiful country that we live in be healthy and look good as well. I also want to see people live longer and learn that life is about preserving the earth that God has given us. Sorry if this sounds confusing but my ADD can really take over sometimes. Especially later at night. Thanks,

I can't believe that it is still a political issue. I see it this way.... let's say the global warming experts were wrong. What would we have to lose by reducing greenhouse gases ? Nothing ! In fact, we would end up making our planet a healthier place to live and also become energy independent and like iladvocate said, not rely on dictators for our oil !
I agree with both of you. It is definitely a political issue on both sides and is rather annoying. If only these career politicians really knew what it was like to actually live like us. Oh my, how would they go on. LOL Reality is tough for alot of them and this is why they like to stay as politicians. They love to create problems and act like they are really solving them. Instead, it is a way for each of them to get more money to support their crazy programs. This is an issue on both sides. What would George Washington say if he were still around?
