Snake Oil

...that statistically, global temperature change is a load of...well, you know. The variance (deviation) of the of the associated observations used to "compute" the changes are so big...especially when talking about climate model output...or proxy data used for historical records and input into the temperature data base...or even differences among the thermometers used at a set point over a period of time...NEGATE the verifiable possibility of any direct correlation of anthropogenic increases in CO2 causing global warming (or cooling)...and DEFINITELY WIPE OUT any possible consequences of said "possible" warming.

What we really need to monitor is the chance of a return to a real ice age (we are nearing the time of a natural return to a cooling period on Earth) because COLD KILLS (warmth gives and sustains life...just look at the past). And, if we are in a warming period (which is perfectly natural by the way...the Earth is a wildly dynamic system you know)...how will the precipitation patterns be changed?...that's the real question, because water means life too. There is absolutely NO WAY to know what the direct (or indirect) changes to aerial coverage of precipitation would be (or the amounts either)...no matter what anybody tells you.

In a way, a warming trend (if there is one at all) before we head back into the depths of a long winter should be welcomed...not feared because of what some evangelical eco terrorists yell from their lofty roof tops. While some of those (eco warmers) are trying to do the right thing because of what they've been told, the majority have an agenda and are using "the global warming scenario" to scare enough people to get what they want. The problem is...so many people have been told outright that man made global warming is real and now (which it isn't)..."Well, that's what I heard on TV (or in the news paper...or online...etc)." that it's very hard to get them to look and understand what really is real. The bottom line is...if you want to cut out the use of hydrocarbons (or quit breathing) for any reason OTHER THAN global warming...have at it! Great! Just don't do it because somebody is telling you that you will fry due to an increase in global average temperatures caused by none other than YOU. Give your time, energy and money to some other cause that will actually help someone (the choices are limitless)...not one that is being presented and sold as snake oil used to be years ago. This is today's snake oil!
