Climate Change

Television doth decree that there is undeniable anthropogenic global warming. Anything else is revisionism, and we all know what that word means, holocaust denial. Challenge the status quo enough and you'll be branded some sort of hate-worthy opponent.

To my mind, the climate change that is happening here on earth is undeniably important. But to say that cars done did it is laughably naive. Just consider other sources of carbon dioxide. A rocket launch is somewhere around 2 000 000 cars driving for a year, a small volcanic eruption is somewhere around 100 000 000 cars driving for a year, and both pale in comparison to the CO2 that enters the atmosphere from water vapour. The most telling data for me is when the graphs that show increase in CO2 as it correlates with increase in temperature, indicate that temperature increases first, and CO2 after, causing the idea of anthropogenic CO2 based global warming a fatal rebuttal.

Let us please reconsider everything that the global warming agenda entails; I think the biggest aspect being a carbon tax that has been in discussion for quite some time now. Basically, it's another way to strip individuals of their well-being, that is, unjust and unnecessary taxation, and make them feel guilty about ruining the planet, which of course is just a deferral of blame from those truly responsible. Granted, it is individuals that make up governments and corporations alike, but once given that status, the organizations themselves become pathological entities wherein the individuals have lost their ability to act as as reasonable human beings. By having committed themselves to representing these artificial monsters I think there is something to say for their having lost a little bit of humanity, or something like that.

Climate change is an important issue, for sure. It's also important that the temperature of most of the other planets in our solar system is increasing as well. Did we make Pluto warmer because we drive our cars too much? Get real...
