Proven facts, or just guilt?

I remember when I was in school as a young impressionable child and we had to watch videos and hear our teachers tell us about pollution and "global warming". We learned how big trucks on the highway were polluting and putting smog into the air. We learned that our hairspray cans were eating a hole in the "ozone" layer. We learned that we had to do something, we had to talk to our parents and convince them that our time was running short. For if we didn't, if we delayed by just 10 years that we would not recognize our planet and that the hole in the "ozone" would get so big that it could grow over the United States and engulf us all in flames. I was a child mind you, and I am not making this up. The global warming argument back then was just beginning to get traction.

A big part of me thinks it was young children like myself that took this theory based on bogus science and turned it into the huge money making segment of the economy that it has become.

The global warming community has been around for roughly 100 years depending on who you ask. Through all this time however each generation of global warmers has claimed that if (A) is not done, then (B) will happen with (C) time certain. It always goes something like this...

If we don't come together and work hard to reduce the output of emissions from our cars then we will only have 10 years until irreversible damage has been done. Do something now or the earth will catch on fire later.

There's just one problem with all of this. None of it has proven true. Now if you were one of those young impressionable kids who has just never questioned the truthfulness of what your teachers were telling you. Don't stop reading just yet. Just ask yourself these questions. What happened after they told us in the 80's that we had to stop using aerosol cans our the "ozone" layer would grow. What happened when they told us in the 90's that if we didn't stop emitting cO2 that the earth would heat to a point that it would kill us all. The answer to both of these is NOTHING. Nothing has happened. People still use aerosol cans, people still drive cars. Nothing that they predicted would happen has happened. The earth is a much more powerful than we mere humans could ever imagine.

Have you ever heard of the boy who cried wolf? Eventually people will stop believing you if you tell a lie long enough. That's what is happening today. And yes I know that at the end of the story there really was a wolf and nobody would listen. I'm just trying to illustrate a point, and that won't happen. I'm not a scientist by any means but I do like to look at the other side of things. Here are a few things that I have noticed.

1. The earth is cooler now than it was in the 70's. If we are putting out more cO2 now than we were in the 70's then we should be proportionately warmer than we were then right?

2. The Ice caps that were melting are now expanding. The East Antarctic ice shelf is regenerating it's self. If global warming were true, shouldn't they be mostly melted and nearly gone by now?

3. The "ozone layer" has either gone away or gotten smaller depending on which scientist you ask. Either way, if what they said was true shouldn't we all be burning right now? I know that we use less CFC's than we did back in the 80's but we still use them everyday. Why has nothing bad happened like they said it would?

4. Even the UN (an admittedly left wing group of people) did a study and it shows that livestock (cows, pigs, goats) put out more cO2 than all of the cars, planes, and trains combined!

If you read between the lines and add up all the facts global warming just comes up cold. Yet we still find people like Al Gore who make films about global warming with made up facts and science that is shaky at best. Even the introductory scene in his movie showing the melted ice caps was made on a computer.

There are many more facts to debunk global warming than what I have listed here. Do the research and you will see that it is all just hysteria. People love to make themselves feel guilty about things.

One final thought on global warming. God knows what he is doing. Do you think he would give us a planet that is so weak, so fragile that we tiny humans could have any lasting impact on it? Don't get me wrong I am all for protecting what we have. But there is a big difference in keeping our lakes and forests clean, and trying to guilt ourselves into believing that we can actually destroy this planet.
