Interesting that you do not print any of those letters pouring in from climate-change deniers that might show your opinion for what it is (political, not scientific). Truth can hurt.

Here are a few figures we might agree on: 90 percent of scientists agree that climate change is occurring, and 80 percent agree that human activity has something to do with it (I’m among them). Let’s even say that most might agree that climate change can be detrimental to present conditions (I don’t. Nature always improves its lot). It does not follow from these figures that man’s activities are what’s dangerous. It’s happening anyway. Naturally. Climate change is a natural occurrence that’s been going on for hundreds of millions of years, and we now happen to be in an interglacial phase during which temperatures are broadly increasing. Naturally. In fact, nature will compensate as it has for those eons, even to the point of wiping out mankind if necessary (It won’t because mankind will adapt). Of course, we should take what steps we can to minimize our impact (as we have been doing – the environment is light years better than it was in the 1950s). But we need not panic and throw trillions of dollars at a “problem” we haven’t even identified as a problem (Those same scientists mentioned above also agree that computer models are incomplete and faulty). Man does not control nature – mankind is a guest, not a host, on Earth – and regarding how nature works, we really don’t know much except that water has everything to do with it.

The fact is that “global warming” is a political, not scientific, agenda connected umbilically to political correctness, a falsehood and blight on our species. Progressives are killing liberalism.
