Anytime you significantly change the environment, then you can expect some type of change. I don’t think anyone is debating cause and effect. However, one of the many problems stems from people who are trying to use “global warming” as a method to control politics. The earth, ocean, atmosphere, and sun are too complex to start making predictions. Genetically modified foods, polluted ground water, and environmental impact is going to destroy us before global warming.
Exactamundo. When I was a kid, the big thing was CFC's in aerosol cans busting a hole in the ozone layer. When is the last time you heard buzz in the media about what was the "global warming" of the 1980's? Politics got involved, aerosol makers had to switch to CFC-free propellants, and smog (created by O3 [ozone]) controls got tighter.
Crises are pathways for the political-power hungry (bureaucrats, in this case) to gain control and influence in the private sector - exactly what the founders of this country were rebelling against when they declared independence from Great Britain. Yes, I know that is oversimplifying the ideals of the American Revolution - but it is an apt correlation. And a very disturbing one.
But my real beef with "global warming" is what I explained earlier - empirically, it cannot be proven using the scientific method. And I
HATE it when theory and opinion get introduced to the American populace as
fact rather than supposition.
