I'm not sure what draws me so much to this global warming issue. I'm certainly not concerned that the earth is in crisis mode. I think it is more the hypocrisy of those who preach global warming, as well as my own concern about what it will mean if and when we allow people like Al Gore control our energy policies. Al Gore, in response to an environmentalist who dared question the reality of man made global warming, said to this man: "I want to be polite to you," Gore said, in turning him down. "The scientific community has gone through this chapter and verse. We have long since passed the time when we should pretend this is a ‘on the one hand, on the other hand' issue," he said. "It's not a matter of theory or conjecture, for goodness sake," he added.
So is the debate really over? Paul Driessen, in an article titled "Global Warming Bait and Switch", writes this:
"No one yet knows what solar energy fluctuations, planetary orbit shifts, recurrent oscillations in ocean currents, cloud cover variation and other natural forces combined to cause these potent climatic changes. But there is no evidence that they have suddenly been displaced by human CO2 emissions.
Growing numbers of scientists say the climate change debate is far from over, and global warming was never a crisis. Over 650 certified meteorologists and climate scientists are on a US Senate compilation of climate cataclysm skeptics – and 32,000 scientists have signed the Oregon Petition, saying they dispute claims that humans are causing climate change, and the changes will be disastrous."
I would encourage you to read the article. The debate is not over Al.
