A Few Thoughts About Global Warming

It is August here in Texas, and it's hot. Well it's not as hot as it has been in the past. We haven't even hit 100 yet, though its getting close. Hmm! A cooler than usual summer in Texas in the midst of all this hysteria about global warming. Well that's the weather report.

But here's my take on the assertion that global warming is caused by human productivity. If the Earth is truly in a warming cycle, all of science, history, archeology, and the larnin' I done when I was just a little tyke tells me that it ain't nothin' new. We know there have been historically warmer and cooler epochs in pre-history and historical eras. And as far as I know, there weren't any SUV's or Power Plants or Nukes or enough human activity to make dent at the time.

The "Global Warming Hystericals" haven't proved a thing. All they've got going for them is an apocalyptic fear of some imagined disastrous future and a fraudulent faith that anything man does is harmful to the Earth and Nature, so therefore, man is causing Global Warming.

I am highly suspicious of people who think that all of a sudden our world will come to an end and want to take control over large portions of my life and not to mention the world's commerce in order to save it. What better way to put everyone under control than to convince them that if we don't do as they say, the world will end. That is the essence of their message. They want to control your world. Make you stop driving your car. No grilling in the backyard! Oh, forget about going to work to make a living and put food on the table, your job will disappear because it probably causes pollution, anyway. Get in line for the Government cheese. Oh, wait a minute! Cheese comes from cows, and cows produce methane (a greenhouse gas) in large quantities. No more cows, no more cheese. You're going to have to eat dirt.

All this while Al Gore lives in two mansions and has a bigger "carbon footprint" than I will ever hope to have. Make no mistake. This whole thing, for those who are pushing it the hardest, is about taking control of you, your life, your government, the world. Because, only they can save us.
