Common Sense On Global Warming

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Now: what makes me so certain that the man made global warming hypothesis is wrong? I am not certain of it. I am certain that the evidence I have seen so far shows that CO2 isn’t the cause of the observed global warming trend which started about 1776. I am not certain that the warming trend will continue: there’s increasing evidence that it has ended and we may be getting colder. I am not convinced that warmer climates such as we experienced during the time of the Viking settlements in Greenland, when Nova Scotia was called “Vinland” would be a terrible thing. I am not convinced that even if the United States bankrupts itself by driving the cost of energy here higher and higher it will make one whit of difference in the temperature of the world either in our lifetimes or the lifetime of our children.
