Courier Journal Jumps on Global Warming Bandwagon
« Quote of the Day | Main | Democrats are for a New Direction »The glorious Courier Journal is going to take us on an in depth look at climate change. They are going to explain to us how global warming may affect our area and the world. They will also try to show us that global warming is "real" and how we contribute to it.
The only problem is global warming is not affected by us. Let's take a look at paleoclimatologist Professor Tim Patterson take on how CO2 levels and how it affects Earth's temperatures.
Appearing before the Commons Committee on Environment and SustainableDevelopment last year, Carleton University paleoclimatologistProfessor Tim Patterson testified, "There is no meaningfulcorrelation between CO2 levels and Earth's temperature over this[geologic] time frame. In fact, when CO2 levels were over ten timeshigher than they are now, about 450 million years ago, the planet wasin the depths of the absolute coldest period in the last half billionyears." Patterson asked the committee, "On the basis of thisevidence, how could anyone still believe that the recent relativelysmall increase in CO2 levels would be the major cause of the pastcentury's modest warming?"
Patterson concluded his testimony by explaining what his research and"hundreds of other studies" reveal: on all time scales, there is verygood correlation between Earth's temperature and natural celestialphenomena such changes in the brightness of the Sun.
This quote taken from an article by Canada Free Press. It asks a very good question. How can we affect the climate with marginal CO2 level increases when CO2 does not correlate with global warming or cooling? But hey we can't let facts get in the way of a good scare. Thus the "global warming" crowd continues to perpetuate the false theory that we are causing global warming. When in fact it is natural for the world to warm up and cool down on its own.
The reality is global warming scares by the CJ and Al Gore's new movie are the only way the socialists have of slowing down the capitalist movement. If they can indoctrinate people to believe we are "causing" global warming, then they can foist socialist policies willingly on the gullible public. Without these scare tactics they would have no way of implementing their discredited ideology. Of course like any other socialist policy these will hurt economic growth and lower people's standards of living, but it is for the good of the "environment". In face of this onslaught, I will continue to fight "common knowledge" with real scientific knowledge and common sense. Especially from the clowns at the CJ.
