So a while ago a person with ties to a friend of mine made one of the most stupid statements I ever read in regards to Global Warming (now renamed to Climate change when the original deadline came and passed with none of the predicted disasters occurring). He claimed the 97% of the worlds scientists agreed on Global Warming. NINETY SEVEN PERCENT.
Forget Global warming for a second and ask yourself if 97% of the world scientists have agreed on anything in the history of the Earth, much less a far more divisive topic as global warming was when Al Gore and other far left wing environmentalists started a world frenzy over apocalyptic predictions that never came to pass.
I guess before I get into this I should make my stance on the subject clear to all.
From all the evidence and material I have read (from all sides of the arguments) I believe our climate change in regions is because of the Earth shifting. So where as one region might be a desert now, in 100, 200, 300 years it might be experiencing hard precipitation weather patterns. And there is die hard scientific evidence to back up this belief from our history. Long before there was pollution and Carbon and what not. I do not disagree pollution needs to be controlled and I would love to see large stretches of wilderness and natural habitat left untouched and free from "development". But unlike many people who allow their political agendas to interrupt their environmental desires, I do not look for a boogie man to connects the two. If and when the scientific communities agree on a connection, I will revisit that stance I have made for myself. But right now its just a big us vrs them game of political agendas and maneuvers.
Why is it that a left wing whack a do can claim 97% of the science community agrees with Global Warming? He says it because he ignore the scientific findings of anyone, regardless how credible they are, that disagrees with his own opinion of the matter. That's all. Its not some amazing all inclusive coming together of the scientific community. He just ignores anyone who disagrees, regardless of what evidence and argument they may present. And the only reason its 97% is because it would sound to arrogant to claim 100%. That's really all it is in a nut shell.
Al Gores global disaster has come and gone, there is as much ice (in some cases more) today as there was when he predicted the global ice caps would be melted by 2014 (predicted in 2007). I could link article after article after article but why bother, we all know there is ice at the caps. Gore said "COMPLETELY GONE". Its a pretty easy prediction to complete discredit outright. Oh sure the alarmists spin and twist and re-design what Gore MEANT (what are we into science fiction and mind reading now?). The be all and end all is he said "COMPLETELY GONE BY 2014". Nothing else needs to be said on subject there.
The problem with pointing this out is as you do a Google search for a link you quickly find EVERY political agenda that agrees with Gore if funded and supported by the radical Left wing environmental movement. And every political agenda that disagrees is funded by the radically Right Wing US Republican/Tea Party movements. And on both sides you get to hear the *in best Huck Finn voice*
"well ummm 97% of all scientists agree (disagree) with global warming yuck yuck".
Its a con job on both sides and those of us in the middle who don't pick one side or the other end up wanting to strangle both sides for their stupidity.
Lets make it really simply for these people (both sides)
Pollution is bad for the environment
No pollution is bad for the economy
you need to find the happy medium where BOTH can survive and flourish equally
Go to far either way and then you really do have global issues that end up being equally as disastrous.
The original Global Warming scare was a fraud, simple as that
Even the scientists have recanted their earlier statements Forbes article and please note this 2013 article has the agreement percentage among scientists as low as 36% (far cry from 97% I might say, as claimed. This is Forbes magazine, NOT renown for their anti climate change platform.
Here is Worldnews NBCnews Article on RECANTING GLOBAL WARMING SCIENTIST
Listen I could go on and on with links and examples and FACTS but the simple truth is
Those who want to believe in global warming and push a radical left wing environmental agenda will always find some way to justify their beliefs. Usually by ensuring the literature they receive and read reinforces their beliefs and agendas. Anything counter to their beliefs will be titled Climate change deniers or some other monstrously evil sounding name in obvious attempts to silence them through social media bullying and intimidation.
And those that think everything is A OK and we need to push forward with out ever looking backwards will be just as pig headed and un-flexible and equally pushy through intimidation.
Personally I would love to live in a world where we created no pollution, no CO 2, no impact on nature. But the truth is our technology has not reached that level to achieve that goal. Here in Ontario we pay more to buy wind and solar energy then we charge the people to use it. Because technology simply is not to a level that wind and solar energy are viable sources of energy for the masses.
Wind Ontario
or
Fraser Institute on cost of solar/wind driving up energy costs
or
Financial Post on Wind/Solar Lobbyists
and finally
Financial Post on Ontario losing upwards of 1-2 billion exporting power
I wish it was different. I would gladly put solar panels on my roof and become self sufficient while causing no pollution.
BUT THE FACTS DO NOT SUPPORT THE LEFT WING ENVIRONMENTALISM AGENDA.
The honest truth is Global Warming (now refereed to as climate change) is a means to an end politically and financially. It takes a fundamentally honest ideal and principle of less pollution, cleaner air and politicizes it into a abomination and cash cow for individuals and left wing governments. Gore and Suzuki have made millions off of the global warming scare, while they jet setted across the world in their private planes, leaving far greater carbon footprints then any 1000 Americans or Canadians ever will.
Left wing governments love to throw out the carbon tax concept (despite other countries like Australia reversing and removing carbon taxes after suffering financial destruction because of it Senate votes to dump carbon tax that voters wanted scrapped
or worse forcing countries to go back to obsolete energy mechanics via a loop hole in the carbon tax structures carbon tax failure leaves uk relying on old coal
And as we all know, if there is a loop hole to be found, someone will utilize it.
Personally rather then pushing in agendas and flawed formats like Carbon taxation that will leave people scrambling to find ulterior mechanics that allow them to cheaply skirt the tax concepts. Why don't we put into place laws that EVERYONE can agree on so EVERYONE is working towards the same goal and target, rather then looking for ways to cheat the system.
Or least that's what 97% of the people who agree with me say!
