Gore-bal Warming
June 3, 2007
By Scott Sowby
The awards circuit has hailed Al Gore as a prophetic hero. History will expose him as a delusionary fraud. While most of the media treats his global warming theory as fact, the fact is that it's not. Carbon dioxide emissions do not fundamentally affect the earth's weather patterns.
Over the last thirty years, carbon dioxide emissions have risen and there has been a slight increase in the Earths temperature. This is as far as the facts go. Unfortunately, these facts have gained traction as a simple case of cause and effect. To curb the warming, according to Mr. Gore and his followers, we must take Draconian measures to lower emissions, even if that takes a toll on our standard of living and greatly increases governmental control over our lives.
As exact as the best scientists and climatologists can figure, the Earth's surface temperature increased one degree Fahrenheit during the 20th century. About half of that increase came before 1940, when carbon emissions were a sliver of what they are today. Temperatures decreased slightly between the mid 1940’s until about 1975, even though carbon emissions were increasing dramatically. In the real world, this would provide absolutely no proof of a cause and effect relationship. But many times humans fall prey to current event hysteria and delusion. Those brave enough to admit that they have recognized the irrationality of Gore-Bal warming have been called “Global warming deniers”, akin to being called a “Holocaust denier”.
Weather patterns have been changing for as long as the earth has existed. The earth has been through hundreds, if not thousands, of freeze-thaw periods. More recently, from A.D. 900-1250, the Earths temperatures were warmer than they are today. This is one of the reasons that Greenland was named……Greenland. Have you taken a look at Greenland lately? From about 1250 to 1800, there was a mini ice-age. Famines throughout the globe, especially in Europe, were caused by the colder weather. Since the 1800’s, the weather has become slightly warmer.
Climatologists are still unable to pinpoint the cause(s) of the Earths ice ages. The same models used to predict Gore-bal warming have been terribly inept at predicting past weather patterns. Up until the late 1970’s, the same media was hootin and hollerin about an impending ice-age. (See time Magazine 1974). Gore’s award winning documentary shows us images of the seas rising by more than twenty feet. This despite the UN’s latest report that has sea level changes over the next 100 years revised downward from 36 to 17 inches. The same documentary puts polar bears on the fast track to extinction. Today’s polar bear population is higher than it’s been in forty years. And for the Gore-y images of all the glaciers melting away……he didn't show the ones that are expanding.
Time and reason will prove the human footprint on global warming to be minimal and inconsequential. As recently as 1975, some experts were convinced that the earth faced imminent mass famine. During the same time, many academics believed in Eugenics, the theory that the human race could be vastly improved if inferior people and those with low IQ’s were forcibly sterilized.
In spite of widespread misconceptions about weather patterns and Al Gore's pursuit of socialist style government regulations, something good may come from all of this. A big push for nuclear power; a relatively cheap, proven, uber-clean, non carbon emitting energy producer. This type of discussion would put us on right track, one towards renewable energy sources not so much for the reduced carbon footprint as for an answer to the rapid depletion of the earth's natural resources, especially with the rise of China and India.
Imagine the enormous amounts of time, money, and energy that are being invested in the unproven, unlikely theory that humans are the catalyst and culprit for global warming. Let’s use those resources to tackle the real issues such as education reform, terrorism, extreme poverty, and disease. The earth may very well continue to warm for the next 10, 100, or 1000 years...but it won't be because of humans.
