My Thoughts on Global Warming

Posted by Dana Walsh - Thu, December 24, 2009 at 09:04 AM

A must read:  the Dec 22nd WSJ editorial “Time for a Climate Change Plan B.”

Nigel Lawson discusses the shoddy science that has fueled the debate on global warming (Oh! I’m sorry. There IS no debate, according to the IPCC, et al.!)  But there is skepticism, a healthy dose, except among those who even after the hacked emails exposing that much of the evidence being presented has been cooked insist, ala Al Gore, that the planet has a fever.  

Note:  Copenhagen may have its first White Christmas in 14 years, Obama had to get back to DC to beat the blizzard there and road, rail, and airport travel in Europe has been disrupted by winter storms.  

But whether or not the world is warming, and whether human activity is really the cause, the question must be: What is a solution to the problem?  Apparently, it’s another big bash next year. (Mexico City here we come… )  

Let’s consider Mr. Lawson’s solution:  Adapt to the temperature changes that arise.  And I heartily concur that “counseling” be provided for all who have become dependent on, dare I say addicted to, the drama and spectacle of “conference deprivation.”  But they should pay for it with their own dime.
