What's Da Buzz?

continued from Part I

To quote:

“There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the earth’s climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the earth.”

The sun has what are called solar cycles of giving off more heat and then less. Some scientists are concerned about a new ice age because the sun has gone quiet. This has all followed mostly predictable patterns. Usually, they are 11 year cycles. The earth is tilted at a 20 some degree angle so when the North end is pointed closest to the sun, it is summer in the north and winter in the south. That is the standard seasonal patterns. But the earth also has a wobble where it can sometimes be a little be closer to the sun at any given season or year or a bit further away. This gets us warmer and cooler seasons depending on the wobble. Match all that up and you get the charts of predictable increases and decreases in temperature as recorded for 400 years.

All of that is a combination of a little bit of 2nd grade science and recorded measurements. As for CO2 going up and down after the temperature changes, this is the simplified version. Plants grow better when it is warmer. More plants mean more food for more animals that breathe, poop and die making more CO2. The colder it gets the fewer plants leads to less food and fewer animals supported.

Let me summarize the effect Cap & Trade will have on the environment. Imagine you have an elephant with a bad case of diarrhea. So you have a batch of politicians swoop in to cure the ailment. They get in a circle and talk about what to do and ignore the scientists, veterinarians, and everyone else because politicians know best. They break their huddle and declare they have the cure!! To cure the diarrhea of the elephant, they need to give a tissue to a mosquito when it sneezes!!

In other words, the “solution” to combat this “man-made” problem will do absolutely nothing. Lesson in humility – As far as warming or cooling the environment goes from the perspective of the planet Earth; we are just a piece of mosquito snot.

What will it do to the economy? That would be a topic for another day. I can summarize it by saying it will do nothing good.

Here is one other really, really important detail. Since 1998, the temperatures have been cooling, not warming. This winter is expected to be one of the coldest in the last couple of decades.

Also, ask this one question. What are the motivations of the “scientist”? Who is paying them? There seems to be a high percentage chance their results will more than likely be favorable to their employer.

Thanks,

Anah
