Global warming is going to be proven as an old wive's tale in the not too distant future. Things that were told to me as a child, like you catch cold by walking on a cold floor with your bare feet, that the bubbles in the water from the tap is chlorine, that leaves turned brown because of frost in the fall or that swimming after eating caused cramps were all proven to be false. One of my favorites was told to me by my grandmother. Eating peanuts will block your arteries because the little chunks of peanut get caught in the veins. All false, but we believed them because everyone said they were true. So it is with man-made global warming.
Never mind the fact that the earth has cooled in the last 7 years in spite of the media hype that we are doomed! After it's proven to be a hoax, will they apologize? NEVER! Just as the media prints their retractions to stories that originally appeared in bold on page one back on page twenty-two in fine print, so will the truth about the global warming myth be presented. Quietly...
From the minute we get up in the morning we are bombarded with this lie. Turn on the radio and if the talk show host is not discussing it or the news commentator is not tying some disaster to global warming, then the commercials are talking about it. Honda, Toyota and most car manufacturers are trying to sell their vehicles, and because they think this is what their consumers are thinking about, they tout GREEN technology. Save the planet. Buy a Prius! (Or Pious as we lovingly call them with FREE Earth First bumper sticker to the first 100 customers.)
Our utility monopoly in California, PG&E, is the worst... Global warming is a choice. PG&E is NOT a choice. There's nowhere else to buy energy. But together we can save the planet if we use their product. HUH? Sweat in the summer and freeze in the winter, wash your clothes at night, observe spare the air day and flex alerts. Not a word about what they will do to increase supply!
On one hand, I respect that corporations are trying to sell their products and have the right to advertise the way they want, but it perpetuates the global warming myth. After all, if everyone is saying it, it must be true, right?
And our children are being brainwashed as well. Dora the Explorer and other cartoon characters dominate Saturday morning television with messages of environmentalism. Geesh, even the kids can't get a day off! Remember Captain Planet? A concoction of Ted Turner to turn kids against big corporations... never mind the fact that Ted Turner IS a big corporation. TBS, TNT and several news channels to name a few. Ironic, is it not?
More and more it is being reported that scientists are leaving the global warming consensus as data comes in. Computer weather models have been consistently wrong in predicting patterns, and experts are coming to realize that our climate is much more complicated than they can artificially manufacture. Man, in his ultimate arrogance, is constantly being brought to his knees by nature during each earthquake, flood, hurricane, tornado, volcanic explosion. One day we will realize that we are insignificant with regard to affecting global warming. That's my prediction. Don't doubt me.
