More on "Climate Change" ....
I don't, myself, doubt that there is a phenomenon the experts refer to as "climate change"----being old enough to remember what used to be "normal winters" in the Great Lakes region, wherein it would stay cold for weeks on end, and when it snowed we'd routinely get three to four feet when it was all over
...and the snow would stick around for at least a good two weeks or so before finally melting off to thin patches here and there.
My main problem with the "climate change" cultists is the way they keep asserting "greenhouse gases" are the main cause----that it's a purely man-made problem, without engaging in any sort of further in-depth studies and investigations into the matter.
The extreme hubris surrounding this subject, the way so many are so SURE of themselves when making such anecdotal conjectures. No thought given to other potential causes, be they cosmic or terrestrial (sun spot activity; underground volcanic activity; once-every-6,000-year-cycle, and the like).
And then there are also the "climate change deniers"----those who believe such is not even occurring, in spite of the bizarre changes in weather patterns over the past 37 years or so.
So we are only allowed two choices: "There is no such thing as 'climate change' or 'global warming'", or "We'll just have to give up all our modern-day amenities as our use of them is destroying our planet" (as if the earth, itself being a cosmic entity, is somehow incapable of self-regeneration).

It has been studied. 97 out of 100 climate scientist agree
ReplyDeleteWhich "100" did they select for their study?
ReplyDeleteA great book to read through, if you can find a copy of it, is "How To Lie With Statistics" by Darrell Huff
