Brainstorms

Leaving for a moment that there is no scientific evidence that global warming even exists, the suggested cure ranks right up there in smart ideas with borrowing several trillion dollars to get out of debt. Or with government bureaucrats, who have never run a successful business, taking control of our banks, car companies, and creating a national health plan that they can bungle their way into creating a gigantic system that provides everyone with unacceptable but equal health care.
This brainstorm has two fronts. The first is to shoot zillions of sulfur particles into the atmosphere that will create artificial volcanic activity and reflect the sun’s rays. The second is to erect zillions of artificial trees around the world, the purpose of which (check this out) would be to absorb carbon dioxide. Aren’t these ideas wonderful? Where does one start to comment? Oh, I know; how about the fact that all trees, and other plants, through plant respiration, take in carbon dioxide, and exhale oxygen that animals use for survival. How about planting living trees instead of fakes? Let us add that there is no scientific evidence that the increase in CO2 is harmful to living things. How about the absence of evidence that CO2 causes warming? Finally, that a fast growing number of real scientists believe there is no warming, indeed we may be entering a period of cooling. The Anti-American Press (AP) writer, who did this pseudo-news article, used all the emotional zingers he could cram into a small piece, and dug up the most partisan spokesmen he could find for quotes, and, naturally, provided no alternative viewpoint. If the global warmists take control of congress, the cabal could destroy America’s economy with business crippling legislation and change us into the world’s largest third world country. The AP writer confirms my belief that the AP and other major papers now do more harm than good to our country.
