When is a crisis not a crisis?
I have posted on this topic a number of times. It is a topic where continued disussion is needed and necessary, even if the supporters of the theory of human caused global warming try to stifle debate.
Last week, the UN issued a preview of their latest report on the severity of the global warming "crisis". One minor problem....it's not the crisis that they thought it was.
"Mankind has had less effect on global warming than previously supposed, a United Nations report on climate change will claim next year.
The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says there can be little doubt that humans are responsible for warming the planet, but the organisation has reduced its overall estimate of this effect by 25 per cent."
I do not deny that global warming could be happening. What I find hard to believe, given the preponderance of fact, is that our industrialized society has had a whole lot to do with it. Never forget that the Medieval Warm Period happened long before the internal combustion engine was even a glimmer in anyones mind.
Even the US Senate realizes that there is more to the story than we are being told by the press and Global Warming alarmists like Al Gore.
"Since 1895, the media has alternated between global cooling and warming scares during four separate and sometimes overlapping time periods. From 1895 until the 1930’s the media peddled a coming ice age.
From the late 1920’s until the 1960’s they warned of global warming. From the 1950’s until the 1970’s they warned us again of a coming ice age. This makes modern global warming the fourth estate’s fourth attempt to promote opposing climate change fears during the last 100 years."
I have said this before and I will continue to say this. MORE RESEARCH IS NECESSARY. Man has only been tracking climate change for a very short period of Earth's history. The fossil record shows that there were a number of dramatic changes in the Earth's climate going back to prehistoric times. It is simply foley to think that there is anything man made about this.
