The Whole Truth.....

Once again we are going to discuss that lie that is Global Warming and the lie that it is all mans fault. We are also going to discuss the difference between President Obama’s policies and former President George Bush’s policies. After this I think we will find out that not all is as the media wishes it to appear.

Global Warming:
I will concede that there is such a thing as global warming, that it is real, and that it does happen. However I will also tell you that global cooling also exists and occurs all the time. These things are both true and have been proven scientifically over the years.

Is global warming a bad thing for the planet? I think it can be if the world warms up to much and to fast. I would also tell you that the same is true if the planet were to cool down to much or to fast also.

However I don’t think that anything that is happening globally with the climate is heading us down to the path of destruction. Mother Nature for want of a better term has a way of controlling her temperature in order to repair damage that has occurred to the planet.

Warming and cooling are two of the ways she does this. These things happen in cycles as science has proven by researching things like core samples and the polar ice caps. Scientists and other experts who are monitoring the planetary climate since the early 50’s and 60’s have also proven the cyclical theory to be true.

The Human Effect on Climate Change and Global Warming:
Yes it is true that the activities of mankind do have its affects planetary climate change. What is not true is that man is solely responsible for global warming and climate change. As a matter of fact scientists have proven that mans effect on climate change are not all that significant.

One example is the idea that man is solely responsible for greenhouse gas emissions and damage to the ozone layer. Yes it is true that man has some effect on green house gases, but then again so does every other living organism on the planet.

If you look at the damage to the ozone layer you will find that the bulk of the damage is over the largest greenhouse on the planet, which is the Amazon Rainforest. There is hardly any human population in the region, so how can man be responsible for that damage? It really makes you think about the term greenhouse gases.

Obama Climate Policies:
President Obama says that the Bush Administration climate policy was the wrong one and his policy is the right one. He has outlined many objectives he feels are needed to achieve his policy goals.

One of these objectives is to automakers achieve the manufacturing of autos that average 35 miles per gallon by 2020. With current technology this should be attained well before 2020. Another is to lessen our dependency on oil period not just Middle Eastern oil, but our own domestic resources also.

He has also expressed a willingness to explore things like wind and solar energy, but seems to have a big thumbs down for nuclear and clean coal technology even going so far as to say at one point that there is no such thing as clean coal technology. He is also looking at ways to green up government buildings as well as current industrial complexes.

Bush Climate Policies:
Bush policy on climate control and greenhouse emissions have been evaluated by many experts and found his policies to be quite serious. President Bush was the first President to propose regulating CO2 emissions by utility companies, and was in favor of regulating other pollutants by utilities such as sulphur, nitrogen, and mercury as well.

President Bush also favored the Kyoto Protocol, but didn’t support it. The Kyoto Protocol found resistance in both houses of congress and especially with the Senate who voted 95 to 5 against ratifying the KP. This was due to the fact that the two largest growing economies China and India refused to comply with the KP.

Negotiations also broke down over KP at The Hague when the US and European Union negotiators were unable to bridge the divide that separated them. The main gap between the two negotiating bodies seemed to be the fact the US was talking about serious reductions while their EU counterparts were just practicing appeasement.

The Bush 43 administration was also for exploring, extracting, and refining our own domestic petroleum resources to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. The Bush administration cited current safety protocols for domestic oil production and scientific research showing that more oil went into the oceans as a natural occurrence known as seepage than by drilling.

Conclusion:
In conclusion I think science has proven that there is really no catastrophic global threat waiting to occur. Science has also further proven that mankind is not solely or even mostly responsible for Global Warming, climate change, or greenhouse emissions.

Evidence has also discounted the notion that the Bush administration had no serious climate policies. There is also no credible scientific evidence that the Obama policies would achieve any more than his predecessors policies have.

There it all is for you to read in a nutshell. I hope that you have found this post to be both informative and fascinating, because the research for this post certainly had all of my attention. I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday, CIAO4NOW!!!!!
