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!!!!!
Today is the confirmation hearing for Senator Hillary R, Clinton to be confirmed as the new Secretary of State. Since I know that she will not have a problem being confirmed and that we will hear all the liberal left rhetoric as well as all of the pre-requisite mutual butt kissing that goes on at this sort of thing with both political party’s I am not going to write about that today. Instead I am going to write about the subject of global warming and climate change.
For many years now I have heard all sorts of bad news with regard to global warming, climate change, and greenhouse gases. Most if not all of this information or should I say misinformation has come from the far left liberal wing of the Democratic Party and those eco terrorists who tell lies about everything from the dangers of off shore drilling and oil exploration to the damage done to our ozone layer and greenhouse gas emissions.
They cite the fact that we have had a couple of years with record breaking heat in the summers. They say that the polar iced cap is melting fast because of global warming. They tell us that greenhouse gas emissions are damaging the ozone layer. They are telling us that humans are leaving to large a carbon footprint on the face of the earth. The last and greatest big lie told by these fear mongers is that we could have a catastrophic climate change in a few years if we don’t change. Now I’ve done some research and quite a lot of it I might add and this is what I have found out.
Global Warming:
With regard to these record breaking heat waves we have experienced over a couple of summers in the last few years. While we have in fact had a couple of summers with above average heat, in the last three years we have experienced two years with above average cold and freezing temperatures. Their experts will tell you that this is further proof that we are experiencing global warming. However more than five hundred prominent scientists have debunked that theory and say that if anything the opposite is true.
Polar Ice Cap:
They say that the fact that the polar ice cap is melting is very indicative of global warming and its dangers to the world. The same scientists who have debunked to theory of planetary temperatures due to heat and clod contributing to global warming have also debunked this one. They tell us that for this to be a sign of danger to the planet oceanographically it would have to result in a rise of water temperatures in the oceans, but the reverse is true the temperatures have actually cooled a couple of degrees.
Greenhouse Gases and the Ozone Layer:
The lefts very own climatologists have suggested that greenhouse gases are responsible for damages to the ozone layer and we are the biggest culprits. According to a group of climatologists and scientists who do agree that greenhouse gases are the reason for damage to the ozone layer tell us that the biggest example of damage to the ozone layer are over the Amazon rain forest, which by the way is the biggest greenhouse in the world. This is obviously not the work of industry or any other man made system.
Carbon Footprints:
The eco activists are very fond of saying that the carbon footprints that we as a society as well as each of us individually have a negative effect on the environment we live in. While this may be true there has been no scientific evidence to date proving that we are doing any serious damage to the worlds eco systems according to several world renowned scientists and a couple of studies on the subject.
Oil Drilling and Exploration:
As far as I can tell the only danger to the ecological well being of the planet where oil exploration, drilling, and transport of petroleum is concerned is in the transport phase of the operations. Once again science has disproved the myth that drilling for oil is bad for the oceans. Science has proven in recent years that there is more dumped into the worlds oceans through natural seepage through the oceans floors than from drilling. The reason being that pressure builds up under the ocean floor and pushes the oil out into the water through seeps or cracks that are caused by the pressure.
Summation:
In summation I have found out that most of the things that these fear mongering ecologists cite as facts are in no way the truth, and have been thoroughly disproven by both men and women of science at least as reputable as their own. It is basically agreed upon by many of these people that the planetary activities regarding these events are cyclical, and is nature’s way of caring for itself. Considering also the fact that we have only been monitoring the earth and these events for a short time I cannot lend any credibility to these activists’ claims.
I will agree that protecting our natural resources and our environment is not only very important, but in some cases is a matter of national security. I will further agree that there are things that we can and should do to help protect our environment as well. However I will not for one solitary minute allow the lies being told about this topic to go unanswered.
The simple truth is that we as a nation and the world as a whole have grown into an immense population and the more of us there are the more there are going to be causal effects to our planet. That does not mean that we are all going to suffer from intense heat, extreme cold, and exposure to toxic gases and the entire race of man will pass into extinction. What it does mean is that we need to be very careful how we treat Mother Nature because she does provide for all of our needs.
Have a terrific Tuesday my friends and I will see you all again soon, CIAO4NOW!!!!!
