The Ever-Uniting Topic of Global Warming

What a great way to end my semester in International Relations. We talked about global warming and the Kyoto Protocol, which thankfully the US has not signed. So, as my second installment of correcting poor political positions, I will write on the topic of environmentalism and the role it should play in government. The fact is, regardless of what CNN and NBC and CBS and Al Gore might tell you is that global warming is a debatable theory. Yes, ice is melting off of Antarctica ... in one isolated area! What pro-global warming activists won't tell you, or might not even know, is that much of Antarctica is actually GAINING ice. It's not like the entire continent is about to melt. Also, in an Inconvenient Truth by the NOBEL PRIZE winner Al Gore (are you kidding me?) he quotes a study saying that a valley of, I believe, California is going to be under water in the future. However, he fails to say that the study says that there is an equally probable chance that that valley could be a desert at that same time in the future. Thus, my point is that you can't trust these pro-global warming activists-->they will never give you the full truth. Also, the founder of THE WEATHER CHANNEL, John Coleman published a blog for ICECAP (http://icecap.us/index.php/go/joes-blog/comments_about_global_warming/) saying: "It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming; It is a SCAM. Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to create an illusion of rapid global warming. Other scientists of the same environmental whacko type jumped into the circle to support and broaden the “research” to further enhance the totally slanted, bogus global warming claims. Their friends in government steered huge research grants their way to keep the movement going. Soon they claimed to be a consensus." Need I say more? I'm not sure about you, but I'm going to trust John Coleman over Al Gore. Coleman has no stake in whether global warming is occurring, Al Gore has a nice chunk of change invested in this idea. I'd urge any of you who are still avid proponents of global warming to check into some more conservative sources than CNN and the national news outlets. Get a fair and balanced view. Finally, I'd just like to say America has bigger things to worry about than this issue. Because it is such an unproven idea, the federal government needs to be worrying about a war, economy, healthcare, national debt, etc. Those are the things the government should worry about. It shouldn't sign the Kyoto Protocol which costs America billions and billions of dollars each year and only makes 36 countries make significant changes. It is an unfair resolution. The point I'd like to leave with you is that whatever environmental issues are serious, those are up to you and me individually. Recycle when you can. Use fluorescent lights. Don't buy gas-guzzling vehicles. Be green individually. Don't complain that the government doesn't have a comprehensive "green" policy. Clean the world up individually.
