Global Warming, Czechoslovakia and Freedom

I'm still out to lunch with this whole global warming thing. I haven't read enough nor do I know all I need to know about Global Warming to determine what all the brouhaha is about. I do remember even back in the Old Days when I was in school ,we discussed the possibility of another Ice Age, that the Earth has cycles, and dinosaurs were here when everything was warm, then came an Ice Age and they were gone. (If you don't believe in Evolution, please don't comment. That may be another blog someday...)

I also know that the present is the only time in human history that this many people have been alive. I also know that only in the last 50 or so years air pollution from human inventions have been getting worse. Only in the 20th and 21st centuries have we even had emissions from oil derrived products. Back in the Old Days, they talked then about eventually running out of oil, that there was a finite supply of organic energy. I also know the Global Warming thing is all about Carbon Dioxide, which is naturally produced vs Carbon Monoxide, which I thought was more dangerous. So I'm confused.

I also know as a scientific fact that water freezes at exactly 32 degrees. Not 32.5 or 33 but 32. So even an insignifcant warming of .6 degrees means somewhere something that used to freeze isn't freezing anymore. How does that effect the how does that effect the interdependance of plants and animals? I don't know, but even the smallest change could effect lots of species. This article on the Honey-Bee Die Out I think puts things in perspective a bit. I'm using this as an example of something that seem so insignificant now could have far-reaching effects in the future.

So please do your own research, but consider our past and our future. We have an air pollution problem. That is a documented fact, the government has been trying to get the auto idustry to do things to try to reduce the pollution. It's not getting better and unless we make some changes now, it could get worse. We have to make some changes in our energy consumption and energy production. This will change the economy sure, the Oil companies have had a big hand in everything, including political candidates and the Energy Goals of the US, for one.

According to Vaclav Klaus, as quoted by the Red Lady, 'any supression of freedom or democracy should be avoided.' How does believing in Global Warming supress freedom or democracy? Please document that. It's a belief, as the Blue Lady believes it's a religion. Who do the global warmists worship? It's an idea, which should be discussed. Now the Bush Administration has trampled all over the Constitution, which is a direct threat to freedom and democracy. The Patriot Act diminishes civil rights, and threatens freedom. So you may ask, what does that have to do with Global Warming? Nothing, except the Patriot Act is a documented fact against the Constitution, where as Global Warming threatens freedom and democracy...er...How?

And the last quote that the Red Lady uses "Let us not scare ourselves with catastrophic forecasts, or use them to defend and promote irrational interventions in human lives" can you say 'Weapons of Mass Destruction'???

Have a good weekend!
