People ice skating on the canal of Pompenburg in 1825. Something to while not starving?

Starting in the 1300’s and lasting into the 1800’s our planet experienced what is referred to as the little ice age.  This was a period of time when the Earth cooled down.  There was a lot of skiing and ice skating, people keeping warm by their fires at night and all that good, pure wintry fun.  There were also great famines that led to millions of deaths due to crop shortages because plants tend to not growing very well in frozen ground.

The little ice age is attributed mainly to low solar activity and volcanic activity, but in 2008 William Ruddiman proposed carbon dioxide levels were in effect caused by humans chopping down too many trees.  He has little support from the scientific community on this theory but I have to say his thoughts on the matter are interesting to read and a bit different from the common thoughts posed by scientists on either side of the debate and power hungry politicians.

The fact is, our climate changes and we know little about the reasons why.  In the 1970’s we were scolded about an oncoming ice age.  Read this Times article and see how cold weather affected us then.

So now we are beset with global warming.  A potential disaster to mankind and utterly altering the Earth as we know it.  There are Scientists all over the world who are screaming at us to do something.  Scientists like Nasa’s Jame’s Hansen.  These scientists have little to gain in crying doomsday, right? Well read for yourself.  The truth is, the doomsayers enjoy fistfulls of cash and a very supportive media who loves to trumpet the next great tragedy.

Come on, how can you corporate slugs let all the animals that are left in this polluted planet commit suicide?!  The enviro-left has turned environmentalism into a really sexy calling.  The enviro-left are the white knights of today tasked to save the planet.  With propaganda on a global level like this video, it is no wonder that people are terrified of the potential demise of the human race.

Apparently corporations are so hell bent on destroying the planet that you would think they breath CO2.  Apparently they could give a damn about anything but the ever falling US dollar.  Or perhaps we could paint another picture.  It seems too easy that the primary culprit of global warm… err… climate change is a gas that we breath out and plants breath in.  I would love to see pollutants in the air cut down…  how about sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides?  What about methane?  Why concentrate on a gas that occurs naturally and is vital to life on the plant and also would have the largest impact on industry and day to day life?

There are serious concerns about pollution without CO2.  I read an interesting piece at coldtruth.com about a pollution cloud containing mercury, sulfates, dust and more that drifted into California from Asian factories.  What about that?  Who cares?  No one, but if you don’t mind, stop breathing because you are making the temperature rise…  er…  change.

This video shows Al Gore being questioned about Cap and Trade, I would love to see him in open debate.  So he donates all his profits back into the Alliance for Climate Protection?  This from a guy who was reported to donate a whopping $353.00 back in 1997?

I have no issues with the man investing in companies that promote his views, but there needs to be stronger debate about climate change, global warming or the oncoming ice age – whatever the enviro-left will next claim.

It is ridiculous that the enviro-left has deemed that the global warming debate is over and is ready to have the United States taxed into extinction. I am particularly offended as a conservative that we get stereotyped as environmental hating mongers that want to destroy everything green and force everyone to breathe poisonous gas.

Al Gore gets boat loads of money from his pushing of the enviro-left movement yet he is supposed to be viewed as a saint.  Dick Cheney used to work for Halliburton and he viewed as Satan.  It is really scary to consider what rights Americans are willing to give up in the name of being environmentally friendly.

You have a man named Al Gore who once famously accused Geroge W. Bush of playing on our fears, who is not doing just that with being green.

Can anyone tell me what the most dangerous gas pollutant is?  I would bet you a dollar it isn’t carbon dioxide.

Jon Stossel has an amazing ability to get to the root of the problem. He is one of my favorite investigative reporters. When speaking at the International Conference on Climate Change he says how there is always a catastrophe looming in the minds of men (and women). From Y2K, to Killer Bees, Swine Flu, Bird Flu, etc. Global Warming… err… climate change is just another tool that government can use to control the uninformed population.
