Global Warming
March 23rd, 2007 |Look, I ain’t no scientist. So I am the last one that you will see standing out on the street corner preaching that the warming Earth (which it most certainly is) is definitely caused by human behavior. I don’t know, but it is a concern and I think it should be seriously studied. Those who speak with certainty that it is not happening are in denial of reality. The Earth is warming, period. Are we the cause of it? I don’t know, so let’s find out. Those who flat out dismiss the calls to study this issue do so for no other reason than the fact that they have a personal problem with those they refer to as “global warming alarmists”. Pointing to a few cold days here and there as proof that the planet is not warming is idiocy.
Additionally, it seems to me that the those who lead the charge of the “pro-global warming” debate are also the ones who would fight tooth and nail to prevent this country from reconsidering its stance on nuclear power. France, Belgium and Germany are but a few countries that have proven that a safe and successful power grid can be run on nuclear fuel. You can’t have it both ways unless you want us all to move out into the forest and live in tents. I say we stop burning fossil fuels for energy in this country and convert to nuclear fuel while at the same time going on a crash course to develop controllable fusion power.
If the cries of “global warming” do anything maybe they will cause us in this country to reduce the overall amount of fossil fuels that are consumed, and required, world wide from such trouble spots as the Middle East. It would go a long way to solving the problem of Islamic terrorism for the west if we were able to just unplug from that part of the world. They want us out, so let’s get out. Take away their money, take away their power.
