“No human can change the earths life cycle.” Sorry, but that’s just wrong. Naysayers said we could never pollute or overfish the oceans, they said we could never damage the ozone layer, they said we didn’t have to worry about lead or mercury in our environment, etc etc. The fact is that we have already drastically changed the “earths life cycle.” Up till now, however, we humans haven’t paid the price for our foolishness. But like a zero-down ARM, the time will come when we realize that we were seriously living beyond our means. If our croplands once again turn into a giant dustbowl, if we lose much of Florida to rising seas, if a category 5 huricaine devastates New York City, if the Sierras can no longer supply water to Los Angeles, if our forests dry out and burn up, if the Gulf Stream shuts down and the Northeast, Canada and Europe drop 10 degrees C in the winter, then I’d say we’d feel that maybe this global warming stuff was kind of important. Whether this will happen in 25 years, 50 years or 100 years is somewhat irrelevant. The consequences for this country and the world are potentially very, very dire.
Global Warming is not a “craze,” it is real problem. It is not some canard that scientists are making up because they are bored, or looking for funding. I can tell you for a fact that most scientists truly disdain politics and sensationalism, even amongst themselves. They do not wish to be tainted by it. For the sake of your children and your children’s children, you should be concerned. Very serious and conservative scientists are telling you there is a real problem. If you choose to listen instead to oil lobbyist propaganda or kooks like Sean Hannity, then shame on you for not using your brain.
