As you can see by the heading, I have some questions about Global Warming. Now do not get me wrong, I know that temperatures are rising to averages higher than ever recorded before. I know that ice pack is receding in the northern hemisphere at alarming rates. Thus the globe is warming up, at least in the populated and accessible areas. What I am not so sure about is the hypothesis and premises that the global warming movement claims it is. And yes it is a movement. Somewhat supported by science, somewhat politically motivated.
You see, I suffer from a malady called memory. Unfortunately for these proponents of the global warming hypothesis, I remember not so long ago they were using the same damned causes, statistics, and reasons to make the case for a thing called Nuclear Winter. The problem was with that was that, as more data was collected and more statistics were extrapolated, the nuclear winter hypotheses fell by the wayside. Oh, that and the ice flow in the northern arctic receding. Then, Bing, Global Warming. Convenient don’t you think. One day, the use of nuclear weapons and fossil fuels was going to bring about a perpetual winter with widespread crop failures that would turn Earth into a frozen marble to the next day, the same fossil fuels was going to turn Earth in to a burning desert rivaling Mars as an inhospitable environment. And it seems like no one in the science community paused to say WTF?
Generally speaking, the only opponents to Global Warming have been representatives of various business interests (generally Conservative pundits and politicians) that wish to continue to go about their old business practices that would continue to put hydrocarbons in the atmosphere by saying “What Global Warming?” Sadly, questions should be asked but it has become a political issue instead of a scientific issue so science has little or anything to say about finding the real answers anymore.
I read voraciously. I have read more than one theory, supported by various pieces of evidence, that we experienced a mini-ice age during the middle ages. In fact, I remember one writer saying they were called “The Dark Ages” for more than one reason – colder, danker, and darker. Some have even hypothesized that we did not come out of this mini-ice age until the late 19th century, if then. Ask yourself, just how long have we been keeping accurate temperature readings to determine if the average temperature is rising or falling by 1 or 2 degrees? Yeh, right.
Now, I know he had an agenda and I know that many have refuted him but Michael Crichton in his book “State of Fear” addressed many interesting issues regarding his contention that Global Warming was not real. I am not saying that I buy his premises, but you cannot refute his statistics in the book. They are real, very real. And his interpretation of those figures are every bit as viable as the interpretations coming from others. Read it tell me that he is completely full of crap. While you do not have to agree with everything he says, you have to admit he has a point. And that is forgetting the storyline completely.
Here is the thing though. On the one hand, I have grave suspicions that the whole Global Warming is at least a theory without proof and at worst a political agenda disguised as science, On the other hand, I see no problem with acting as if Global Warming were real. We can only benefit by alternative fuels, environmental improvements and protections, breathing clean air, drinking cleaner water, what have you. So if Global Warming is a hoax, as it may well be, it is a hoax that we can benefit from, And if it not a hoax, we had better get on the ball now.
