It seem like research science these days, is about find a way to prove, whatever your employer is funding, truth and facts are of little value, compared to grant money. The Global Warming guys, don't deny, that this trend is going to continue, regardless, they only hope to slow the rate, buy sometime. They won't admit that this is natural or normal occurrence, that man has only a tiny, if any influence in the rate of increase. Wasting time and resources, to fight something far beyond our means and understanding, makes little sense. We should spend the time preparing and adapting to the warmer climate.
I moved from a snow-capped mountain in the northwest, all the way down to sunny Florida, and survived just fine. Pretty sure the rest of the planet will do just as well. Personally, I believe the increased global temperature will turn out to be a great thing for life on this planet. The lower end of the food chain thrives on a warmer, humid climate. Most everything else will, as well (except Al Gore's pet Polar Bear).
We've been hearing about over-fishing the oceans, destroying coral reefs, and killing all the whales for decades. Got me to wondering about a natural source of CO2, that doesn't come up much. Plankton, are a group of small animals, which most sea creatures feed on, in very large quantities. Some species of whales live off it almost exclusively, coral does as well. Seems like if there are fewer consumers in the ocean, plankton is left to over populate, and emit CO2, 'at an alarming rate'. Wonder if plankton population correlates well with the 'Hockey-stick graph'. Doubtful it's considered, since its not man-made, or taxable, much like the bulk of the 'greenhouse' sources.
Have always found it amusing that all natural or non-taxable sources of greenhouse gases, are classified as 'carbon-neutral', and discounted. Only man-made CO2 is causing global warming... Doesn't really look like greenhouse gases actually cause warming anyway.
I wasn't too concerned about Global Warming, just an Eco-trend, until the carbon tax talk started. Every penny will only get passed down, spread out, but adds up for the average consumer. We are already looking to take a huge hit, with Health Care Reform. Can only hope the next President can stop it, before mandatory insurance can kick in. Employers should offer the option, the individual should be free to choose how to spend/save their paycheck. The Carbon Tax, would be just added onto pretty much everything we buy and use.
Just like the Health Care drama, seems like it's already been decided, just a matter of selling it to the public, in such a way as not to cause excessive violence or rebellion.
The average global temperature is the least of our worries these days, or the coming years.
