To help build a new foundation for the 21st century, we need to reform our government so that it is more efficient, more transparent, and more creative."
Indeed, it has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society.
Again, one of my pet peeves in the media and in the political three ring circus, is self-absorbed claim that man is the sole cause of the world’s current climate change. How can we be so arrogant to lay such claims without a true inkling of the global climate dynamics?
Every night the talking heads only broadcast at most a 5 day weather forecast. Why? Because they cannot say for certain what will happen beyond that point, yet all these so called experts can claim that man-made carbon emissions are wreaking havoc on global temperatures and will cause the collapse of the world’s social systems within decades.
I found David Deming’s Washington Times commentary on Global Cooling today of note. So let’s consider some facts he posts…
In 2007, hundreds of people died, not from global warming, but from cold weather hazards.
In Buenos Aires, snow fell for the first time since the year 1918.
In Peru, 200 people died from the cold and thousands more became infected with respiratory diseases.
Unexpected bitter cold swept the entire Southern Hemisphere in 2007. Johannesburg, South Africa, had the first significant snowfall in 26 years.
On Dec. 7, St. Cloud, Minn., set a new record low of minus 15 degrees Fahrenheit. On the same date, record low temperatures were also recorded in Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Does this discount global warming? According to David, evidently not.
In 2005, a Canadian Greenpeace representative explained “global warming can mean colder, it can mean drier, it can mean wetter.”
Dr. William Gray, prominent meteorologist from Colorado State, has come out to call Al Gore’s award of the Nobel Peace Prize an example of brain-washing and says it illustrates the population’s “misunderstanding of how the atmosphere works.”
I think many of us have been saying all along that this will most likely just be another alarmist event like global cooling was in the 1970’s.
But, be that as it may, I’m still deeply saddened that Al has managed to capture a niche in the American psyche and has been very successful in exploiting it. And I’m troubled that more Americans fail to see what’s happening.
One other little point though, Dr. Gray’s recent predictions for the hurricane season haven’t been so accurate. 2006 was promised to be a killer year, but as we know, not very many storms actually materialized.
I quote, “Channel 4, Thursday 8 March, 9 pm. Are you green? How many flights have you taken in the last year? Feeling guilty about all those unnecessary car journeys? Well, maybe there’s no need to feel bad.According to a group of scientists brought together by documentary-maker Martin Durkin, if the planet is heating up, it isn’t your fault and there’s nothing you can do about it.We’ve almost begun to take it for granted that climate change is a man-made phenomenon. But just as the environmental lobby think they’ve got our attention, a group of naysayers have emerged to slay the whole premise of global warming.”
