We’re all gonna die!

My one anthropogenic global warming question that encompasses many of the problems that I have with the issue. What is the evidence that current climate trends are any different from any of the other times that the global climate has oscillated between “hot” and “cold”?

I find Tim Blair’s take on this new development rather endearing ”YEEEEE-HAAAAA! We’re all gonna die, according to a global headline consensus.” He got links to several stories about the UN’s new consensus that human beings are the cause of global warming.

Frankly, I find the “consensus” to be a rather egotistical assessment of the influence of human beings on the natural world. Yeah we can muck things up when we don’t pay attention to what we’re doing. However, this rock we live on was spinning in space and doing its thing long before we crawled out of the ooze or walked out of Eden (depending on which creation story you choose to believe).

Here’s a link to the UN report pilfered from the Fox News story linked by Tim Blair. It’s even got the infamous hockey stick graph in there.

I wish so much that the whole global warming thing weren’t so political, because I think there are some areas with which to be concerned.  Such as air pollution in urban areas.

But the problem is that the environmentalist folks are so busy painting global warming as the coming apocalypse and using that as an excuse to push severely restrictive legislation down our throats that most people don’t even want to listen to them.

Good point.


What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

The number one cause of death, worldwide, is anxiety over what is going to kill you. As Frankie says,"Relax, don’t do it, we’re all going to get to it!” Long story short, awareness of the enviroment and how not to screw up our water and air is quite widespread. Industry, of all types, are already far advanced in inovations that are helping to maintain air and water quality. At least in America and Europe. Rest of the world? Not so much.
