You may have noticed a new development or two in the exciting realm of all of us heating up weather we want to or not.

Examples?

The accidental discovery of hundreds of  emails amongst climate scientists confirming that the base data bringing us the global warming forecasts are flawed and not locked in after all. Headlines that read “coldest winter in 40 years,” “ice cap increases by 22% over last seven months,” “polar bear population found to be in normal cycle.” “worst snowfall in 70 years,” etc, etc.

For the record, in the past we seemed to have had some reasonable debate and discussion on the matter of global climate until, somehow, once again, that issue like many others of importance, became politicized. We now know that it is our political party affiliations that determine weather or not the earth is warming, not real science. It has become more important to learn what our “carbon footprint” is rather than “are both of my feet planted in climate research  facts.” The result?

Surprise, surprise. The lockstep mantra of the Gorites continues unchecked.  The large companies continue to pollute our atmosphere and natural water sources , destroying natural habitat  in their quest to make a profit in an unending thirst for oil and mineral riches. Huge SUVs are roving our streets spewing tons of greenhouse gasses in to our atmosphere while gnawing giant holes in the life giving ozone layer. Plastic litter  & other non-biodegradable flotsam flows in to our oceans causing death and destruction to marine life and birds. Entire populations of birds and fish are being forced to the brink of extinction. Our forests continue to dramatically decrease every year as man builds more roads and corporate farms. Huge corporate beef farms (established to provide a never ending supply of prime rib and steak to conservative diners) continue to allow the cattle to belch and fart, spewing dreaded methane into the atmosphere at an alarming rate.

I find it very interesting  that  the same sources who have been informing us for years about the approaching horrors of global warming now suggest we reject those “facts” and consider suggestions that global warming has been drastically over stated at least or at worst created out of (industrial) smoke and mirrors.

To clarify, allow me to state my official position: a non-scientific but common sense assessment of the climate story.  Please note:  The Earth has proven and document-able cycles of warming and cooling and will continue to have them. No rational person should insist that we are not in a warming trend now (say the last 20 -30 years). The issue that matters is what degree of this warming is caused by humans, what can be done about it and how much time do we have before we all:

1.Die of thirst

2. Die of starvation

3. Cook to death.

4. Drown from melted polar ice

5. All of the above.

Is it possible that once the terrible specter of imminent nuclear apocalypse (remember the “duck and cover” days?) was relegated to the dust bin and  we no longer needed to worry about buying preserved food and fall out shelters in order to keep living, that a new even MORE terrible armageddon was needed to drive the engine of fear and associated fund raising? Could it be that GLOBAL WARMING is our new collective “Boogey Man?” Is it global warming that now drives the save the earth crowd? Keeps the money flowing in the veins of devote liberal organizations? Of course NOT! why that would be , would be too much like a, a master conspiracy… RIGHT?
