Global Warming Vs. Global Cooling

Updated on April 8, 2008

Question:

If the scientific community is in disagreement - some say the planet is warming up and could mess up our weather and others are saying the planet is cooling and could go into another mini-ice age - while yet a third sector of the scientific community is saying it's because of increased sun spot activity, then isn't this whole thing a big to-do about nothing we have any control over?

Follow up question:

Why are we being told that it's because people drive SUVs, or any vehicles, for that matter, when a volcanic erruption anywhere on the planet puts more pollutants and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than our vehicles could ever put into it? Hmmmmm......

Footnote:

As I sit here typing away, I'm listening to the man who started the Weather Channel and was its president being interviewed on a radio show. This man's a meterologist. He's saying carbon dioxide. So, even when we're discussing this issue, we can't seem to agree on which molecule is the accused culprit. I say "accused" because the global warming alarmists are trying to convince us that it is the key factor contributing to it.

March Update - Al Gore seems he's got another "Inconvenient Truth" to deal with. Turns out new scientific data's not necessarily supporting his claims that global warming is happening and we've GOT to pay carbon credits to him to appease our guilt. (For link to article on this, please see links below.)

April Update - Well, this isn't the "smoking gun" folks, it's the "frickin" BULLET from that gun! All one has to do is email the author, threaten to ruin him if he doesn't change the story's perspective, and voila... you can manipulate the media through blackmail that easily. Check this out: BBC Changes Its Story After One Complaint by Activitist, and don't miss the link to the actual text of the email exchange showing how it all went down. IMHO, we're really losing our sanity folks. What next, "If I tell you that the moon is made of green cheese because we've got scientists who tell us it is, then you'll write your article to tell the people that, or else!"???
