Global Warming

The Biggest Hoax of the 21st Century

Global Warming is being promoted as the next doomsday scenario. This scenario has one common theme, human beings are destroying the environment. While many factors are driven by the human dynamic, some fundamental truths must be stated before a level headed strategy can be developed to handle the alleged Global Warming crisis.

One fact needed to be known is whether the earth is getting warmer and has been in a general warming trend since 1965. This warming trend is almost universally attributed to post 1940 sun spot related activity, not the result of man-generated greenhouse gases. Also important to note is that our planet has undergone several periods of warming and cooling and will most likely continue to do so for the foreseeable future. So, the question to be answered is whether or not our current warming trend is primarily the result of man-made processes or is just part of the normal fluctuations of weather, the ying and yang of meteorology.

So, what is the overriding factor controlling global warming? That depends on who you chose to ask. What drives the explanation is more politically and theologically motivated than you might think. Those who see mankind as the measure of all things, the primary force of cause and effect in their worldview, see man as both villain and savior. Man is seen as the villain in terms of being the major cause of the problem, e.g. the major producer of greenhouse gases. Man is seen as savior, or the only hope for mankind, because only a drastic change in human activity can reduce these evil greenhouse gases, and save the earth from imminent biological death. The remedy may come in many forms, ranging from alternative energy initiatives and changing our lifestyles.

If we are to have a positive impact on our environment and be the good stewards of God’s creation that we have been appointed to be, we will have to study the problem and separate fact from fiction, discern truth from hype. The first order of business should be an unbiased evaluation of the alleged problem from a variety of sources, both pro and con.

Like any so-called irrefutably truth of science being promoted for personal and political gain, Global Warming has its Achilles heel. We see this same dynamic in the Darwinian Theory of Evolution.

Darwin postulated a continuum, or range, of life, from the smallest, most basic, e.g. microorganisms, to the most complex and advanced, e.g. Homo sapiens. He was convinced that evidence in support of his theory would soon be forthcoming from the fossil record. He thought, if we really did evolve from lower more primitive life forms, then this should be easily demonstrated to us in the fossil record. We should be able to see a continuum of developed at each successive stage from molecules to me, right? Wrong!!

When the fossil record was progressively covered, low and behold, numerous gaps began to appear in every major variety of life form. The gaps were so ubiquitous, or widespread. The evolutionary community deals with actual facts or data that tend to falsify rather than validate their theory. They come up with creative ways to explain away facts that are clearly detrimental to their scientific hypotheses. But how invested are they in getting rid of the data?

The National Academy of Sciences report reaffirmed the existence of the Medieval Warm Period from about 900 to 1300 AD and the Little Ice Age from about 1500 to 1850 that followed the Medieval Warm Period.

Both of these periods occurred long before the invention of the SUV or human industrial activity could have possibly impacted the Earth’s climate. In fact, scientists believe the Earth was warmer than today during the Medieval Warm Period when the Vikings grew crops in Greenland. Climate alarmists have been attempting to erase the inconvenient medieval Warm Period from the Earth’s climate history for at least a decade. Here are some bullet points that should give all the global warming Chicken Little’s pause: • Greenland is currently undergoing a cooling trend that is expected to last until 2035. • Alarmists fail to adequately explain why temperatures began warming at the end of the Little Ice Age about 1850. • Temperatures got colder after CO2 emissions exploded.

If CO2 is the driving force of global climate change, why do so many in the media ignore the many skeptical scientists who cite rather obvious inconvenient truths?

These questions are just the tip of the ice berg. There are over 450 peer revied articles from global warming skeptics who are bone fide experts in their respective fields. There are 30,000 American scientists urging the United States to reject the Kyoto treaty. So why has it become a grievous sin to question the socalled settled matter of worldwide global warming?

The answer? Follow the money.
