Well . . .excuse me!!

To steal a phrase from Rod Serling, “Imagine if you will” about 35 years ago, when liberals in America were having a tough time being heard, a bunch of neo-progressives were trying to come up with a cause that they could foist on Americans that would make us feel so bad about ourselves that we would start voting for big government and big taxes once again.  Hmmm . . .what could that be?. . . Eureka!!  We've got it!  Climate Change!  Of course it was called Global Warming up until the warming stopped and changed back to cooling. Now we are supposed to feel bad about ourselves and vote for Democrats because, if we don’t, the climate will continue to change. That certainly is an inconvenient truth.

Scads of lists in favor of controlling the behavior of humans because they are the culprits directly effecting changes in the weather pop up on Facebook, Twitter and blogs every day. Aside from the fact that virtually anyone who claims to be a researcher in order to prove that Americans are scumbags if they drive any car that gets less than 30 mpg, will be awarded a hefty grant and a private tour of the White House, I am going to make my own list. There will be no government hand out of grant money for me. I suppose also that after the NSA reads my blog, my food stamps will also disappear.

1. Climate has always changed.  It will always be changing.  If the climate didn't change, we wouldn't need curvy weather girls to tell us about it.

2.  It is simply not true that all scientists agree that Global Warming is an issue. In fact all scientists can't even agree that all scientists are scientists.

3.  Ecosystems adapt. Always have; always will.  And if a certain animal can't adapt to the current climate change, we can kill it and eat it. 

4.  If cow flatulence contributes to greenhouse gasses, how come the earth didn't have greenhouse gas problems during the Jurassic Era?  I mean those guys were big enough to blow down an oak tree with their farts and there was an Ice Age going on then!

That just about does it.  Thanks to my brief, but profound list, you now have all the ammunition you need to debate the issues of climate change.  On the other hand, you might want to consider switching to the dark side and applying for a government grant to study why there are less Canadians moving to Florida in the winter than there used to be. 

The truth is, without climate change, I wouldn't be outside in my lounger with shorts on and a margarita typing this up.  

Oops . . .I just contributed to the greenhouse gas issue. Sorry.
