I find the science behind AGW compelling and sound. Though I do not believe that AGW will result in the extinction of mankind, I do believe we are leaving a potential environmental calamity for future generations.
I take the old time conservative approach on this issue. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Face problems and deal with them and not leave it for our children to deal with.
Under this new fangled "conservatism" and what passes for "conservatism", it is all about the here and now and a what have you done for me lately attitude.
Have the manmade-global-whatever fanatics ever come up with an actual link between man's activites and the climate changes we are seeing? Or are they still ducking, dodging, shucking, and jiving away?
Climates frequently change.
Sometimes the climate gets warmer.
And sometimes it gets colder.
That's been going on for as long as the planet has been orbiting the Sun. Or, as long as it's had a climate, at least.
And man has never had the slightest influence on it.
Even the leftist loons who scream about how we have to use government to change everything, go back to the stone age, etc., to prevent some unknown catastrophe, have never been able to come up with even ONE study or example that backs up their claims.
What's funny is that, when they do name some study, it invariably turns out to be nothing but a bunch of long-winded claims which, finally, refer to some other "study" for proof. And what is in that other "study"? You guessed it - more long-winded claims, and eventually a reference to yet another study. And you can guess what is in that one, too.
The leftist global-whatever loons have been insisting on impending doom, and the urgent need to give government massive powers to change every bit of our lives to "avoid" that doom, for at least 40 years by my count. Literally billions of dollars have changed hands - usually into their hands - all over the world. And they still haven't come up with one shred of proof that man has had the least bit of influence on the climate changes that happen regularly around us. Nor is there any proof that man can do anything to change it.
***40 YEARS*** of screaming, caterwauling, and doomsaying. All without the slightest proof. Just references to references to references, ad infinitum. And demands that they be given complete power over all of us, and that we send more and more of our resources to them, to change what they cannot change.
If this is post is for real, you just did a great disservice to yourself and everyone else who is worried about "climate change".
Let me explain a simple reality. Global warming actually means more rain, more food, a generally more habitable planet, and a reduction in most types of severe weather.
As for Monsanto or bees, that has absolutely nothing to do with AGW.
The Earth could heat 20 degrees Celsius and humans still aren't going to "die off". To believe otherwise is just absurd.
Make everyone poor so they can't afford any luxuries and leave all the CO2 emissions for the elites.
If they can take away your air conditioner for the rest of your life, that might be enough climate credit to add another plane to Obama's air armada that he flies to Hawaii each year for vacation.
More AGW alarmist nonsense. Knock me over with a feather.
PS. the real problem is pollution.
