I am cooling on global warming

The scientific evidence is clear, the earth is warming and it is caused by human pollution.

The scientific evidence is clear, the earth is warming and it is mainly caused by climate change.

Recently, I read that only about 20% of the increase in temperature is attributable to the actions of man and that all of our efforts to curb this portion of warming will have an insignificant impact on total warming.  Get your waders on.

In the meantime, we are spending untold billions subsidizing ethanol, solar power, wind power, electric cars and who knows what else. Wind and solar power is more expensive than good old polluting coal and way more expensive than nuclear power. 

Are there unseen forces at play in all this?  Should I be a cynic and think that perhaps many people are making a lot of money off these scare tactics? Am I playing Don Quixote when I cringe at a formerly pristine hillside on Maui or in Sicily now dotted with monster wind turbines?  Have I not done my math correctly when I cannot understand the value in consuming several hundred acres of land with solar panels generating electricity sufficient to serve the needs of ten homes (or just Al Gore’s)?  Wouldn’t non-polluting, strategically placed nuclear power plants simply make more sense and be more efficient?

I remember years ago when someone asked why we can’t use solar and wind power in New Jersey or certain other parts of the U.S.  The answer always was the wind was not as reliable as needed and the sun did not shine as much as needed; now none of that seems to matter. Oh wait, the climate has changed or could it be that federal subsidize are blowing around more hot air than we need?

Hey, I am all for curbing pollution, I have seen what it does to the view at the Grand Canyon and to the air in our cities, but that is a bit different from the con job on CO2 and warming that we appear to be getting.

This debate appears no different from the “expert” economists who have 180-degree differing views on what to do about the economy.  I want a second opinion – is that covered under Obamacare? Does anyone know the truth?

Perhaps we should leave the corn for popping, put on our sunglasses and enjoy the cool breeze.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh
