Global Warming - Political Hysteria or Have Are The Skeptics Falling into the Peter and the Wolf Trap?

Now, I have written before that I am skeptical about Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth. I am skeptical for a lot of reasons.

1. Just because we like the current temperature of the planet, does not mean that it is the accurate temperature of the planet. The planet has been a lot of temperatures through the millenia. some have been hospital to mankind, some have not. As mankind, we don't get determine the temperature of the planet, we have to go with the flow.

2. There is evidence that Mars has also grown warmer in the last decade or so...and this is believed to be related to solar flares. Since mankind isn't messing up the planet Mars, perhaps, just maybe...the global warming we are having here is also related to the solar flares...it is something to think about anyway.

3. Humans always want to be prepared for the worst. Doomsday has been around the corner since before the times of Christ. Whether it be the approach of a new century, prophesies, or flakes, we have a fascination with end times. Who knows why we are fascinated with thoughts of our demise. Maybe it is for the same reason we watch horror movies...we like the catharsis that comes when it is all over and we are still okay. But despite these doomsday predictions, we are all still alive and well. We even survived the global cooling scare of 30 years ago...

Please don't get me wrong. I am all for taking care of the planet we have. I think we should stop being so wasteful. That we should recycle, use less energy, try to cut back on pollution any way that we can. I think this can be done in small steps by individuals and big steps by companies. But I don't believe global warming is fact. I believe it is hysteria and I believe that if the voice of reason doesn't start asserting ourselves, we are going to do more damage to our economy and our world than we can dream possible. Already people are suffering around the globe due to food shortages, rising fuel costs, rising costs of all merchandise.... There are riots in third world countries.

We need to get a grip. We need to supply the voice of reason. We need to not just assume that the media, the Hollywood types, the politicians are telling the truth. We need to think for ourselves, we need to use our brains and examine the evidence and make our own decisions. Then we need to tell others what we think.

Bloggers have the unique ability to reach out and touch others. We can start a movement to stop the craziness...one voice at a time. Won't you join me?
