Volcanoes, CO2 global warming

So, where the term 'global warming' come from.......? We made it up!

By Bud Clydesdale

This planet has been here over four billion years. We've been here for a hundred thousand. We've been engaged in heavy industry for two hundred years. Two hundred as opposed to 4.5 billion!

Are we really so conceited and arrogant that we believe some plastic bags, a bunch of aluminum beer cans and light bulbs are going to put this globe into jeopardy?

This planet has been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, solar flares, sun-spots, magnetic storms, pole reversals, planetary floods, worldwide fires, tidal waves, wind and water erosion, cosmic rays, ice ages, and hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets, asteroids, and meteors.

And it's still happening! Hundreds of active volcanoes today spewing millions of tons of sulphur and CO2 into the atmosphere every minute, make any 'man made' contribution insignificant. Mt. St. Helens in one burp spewed more pollutants than all human produced industrial emissions over a period of who knows how long. But I'm sure some 'scientist' will tell us even if we don't ask.

These fear mongering luddites are a well oiled industry and a very profitable one to the propagators of it. Books, papers, 'studies', appearances, interviews, donations, speeches, articles, columns, foundation grants, government grants, 'non profit' tax exempt salaries and web sites with 'donate buttons'. And, as long as it can keep a duped media on side, it will continue to be profitable.

I am no Paul Watson [co-founder of Greenpeace] fan, but in a moment of rare truth, when asked by a reporter what made Greenpeace so successful, he replied:

"It doesn't matter what is true, it only matters what people believe is true.... You are what the media define you to be. Greenpeace became a myth and fund generating machine." ("Forbes", Nov. 1991)

And, do you ever wonder, that when these duped myrmidons drag out the..., "two thousand scientists say"............., that they don't name these 'scientists'? Media types are big on this and because they have no expertise of their own they will spin anything that they think may bring ratings. This "human induced earth warming" myth is simply the latest 'flavor of the month' that has become the trendy fashion of the times. And like all fashions it too will pass. But we may have to pay a high price before this one dies.

Remember,.. the 'Silent Spring' hysteria cost the lives of millions of children in South America before that myth ran its course and DDT was re-introduced. But not before an ignorant media stampeded an also ignorant government bureaucracy. __That was also a high price! And a lot of people who jumped on the "ban DDT" bandwagon made money writing books while populations of children were dying of malaria. Unconscionable!

Now, we have...."Two thousand scientists say...."

Surely there must be a list of names of these 'scientists' and their qualifications. The list has got to be somewhere otherwise how could anyone base their argument on something they can't produce? Find the list, and have it handy when someone doubts your assertion that a Honda idling in the driveway is going to cause the oceans to appear in my back yard. That should not be difficult to do if these 'experts' exist.

Either produce the list, produce your qualifications, or stay silent on the subject, because you have nothing on which to base your argument if your using a phantom........, "Two thousand scientists say...."!

And,by the way, neither Gore nor Suzuki are climate scientists! They are presenters!.....And making a lot of money; which of course, is the purpose of the exercise. They don't care about the environment......anymore than a TV evangelist cares whether he heals your herpes as long as you contribute to the collection plate;.... in Gore/Suzuki's case the 'donate' button on a web site.
