Global Warming Hoax

Yes I am a denier because I have common sense. 

I just thought I would take this opportunity to tell how the temperatures have been well below normal almost the entire year.  After doing some research, I have found that temperatures have been cooling world wide.  This is pretty much the trend that has the media and left leaning politicians alarmed because they have so much invested in scaring the public on the whole fabricated global warming.  I do believe the temperatures change around the earth but I also believe that humans are completely irrelevant to these changes.  These changes are natural and happen without any help from humans.  The left leaning politicians and media have spent billions of dollars over the last twenty years misrepresenting the effects of carbon dioxide CO2 on the environment. The truth is that CO2 is needed for life to continue on the earth.  The more CO2, the more life.  The so called “green house gases’” are a necessity and are natural in the earth.

For those of us that have been around for a while, we can vividly remember being in school in the 1970’s and 1980’s being told that we were approaching another ice age.  Back then it was global cooling that was the culprit and humans were responsible for it as well.  Get this, it was the concerns of CO2 then that was being blamed for global cooling.  In fact, you can read this article from Newsweek from 1975 that paints just as scary picture for the earth cooling as these left wing militant environmentalists are doing today about the myth that is global warming.  Or you could read an article from BBC October 9, 2009 asking why the temperature has been falling since 1998.  Environmentalism has become a political movement that is intended to take freedoms away from average businesses and citizens all in the name of protecting the environment.  I think most people are environmentally conscious to a point that they think it is wrong to pollute willfully.  The difference is that environmentalists go way beyond using basic responsibility. They intend to indoctrinate people and leave out the part that just twenty years ago they were afraid of global cooling.

I find it interesting that yesterday we had the coldest high temperature on record for Oklahoma City on that date.  The normal high for yesterday was 76 with a normal low of 53.  Our high temperature was only 49 degrees yesterday.  Anyone that pays attention and has a computer can just as easily go on the Internet and see that we are not an isolated case.  It seems that people have put all their faith in those with a PhD. at the end of their title. This is tragic because these people may have been to school longer than most but they are only learning what someone else has taught them. It is easy to make these outrageous claims for things to happen in another generation because no one can prove them wrong until it happens.

I guess the one thing that really amazed me more than anything is that people still actually watch ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and FOX News without questioning their reports.  I am not saying they are bad people but I will say that the very nature of journalism is to incite people with wild claims.  They are a ratings based business every bit as much as professional wrestling.  The more wild and exotic the claims are, the more viewers that come.  No one seems to notice that Jerry Springer was so popular for so long and his show specialized in outrageous behavior.  It is the human nature to follow the ambulance as it comes up the road.  The media lives by that nature and will report anything with that in mind.  They will report it as though “_________” is reporting, or “__________” group says this or that.  I am not saying that everything you hear on the news is wrong but I will say that if it sounds outrageous, it should be questioned.  Critical thinking is something that is not heard of in this day and age when it comes to the media.  One thing that seems to be the common denominator when it comes to global warming is that those that are scaring everyone are on the left end of the political spectrum.  Do not take my word for it, rather pay attention to those that are calling for something to be done on global warming.  Take note of who it is that is saying it.  Most of us have heard the phrase “follow the money” at some point.  The same can be said when it comes to this climate change debate.  The vast majority of those that claim that humans are destroying the environment are those on the liberal side. 

Another thing to note is the liberal side trying to change their name from liberal to progressive.  Since the term liberal still has a stigma attached to it, they are calling themselves progressives.  These two titles are the same thing.  When you hear someone on television referred to as a progressive, then you can bet they are a liberal.  I really hate to make everything a political argument but the facts are the facts.  I wish it were not true but if you pay attention to this global warming argument, you will find that the person making the claims are almost ALWAYS a liberal.  That is the reality and as much as I hate to point that out, it is the truth.  All I ask is that people watch the news with a suspicious eye.  Question outrageous claims and not let them get away with this.  People and businesses are being affected by this Jerry Springer attitude of the media and politicians.  I think journalism as an occupation needs to be brought back to some sort of non championship wrestling mentality.
