Global Warming

I was just reading the responses to my previous "Global
Warming Jihadists" and still wonder where the facts are.
Sure Ms Mareck is truly passionate about her position, but where
is the evidence of the man-made global warming. I dare to disagree
with the religious fanaticism and she labels me as dangerous
because I work to convince people of my point of view. Holding
back a point of view is dangerous, not expressing it. On the
other hand Mr. Page related some interesting events but then
quoted Wikipedia...folks anybody anytime can post anything in
Wikipedia, unmonitored! Wikipedia states themselves and I quote
"the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit" Now that
is junk science.
So let's now state some indisputable facts:
Hurricane Katrina ( 2005 )in
itself was terrible, New Orleans was not ready! But the facts
are that the winds when it hit the Gulf Coast, remember it did
not hit New Orleans it only got the brunt of the rain, had winds
of only 145mph making it a CAT3 Hurricane. What made it bad was
the amount of rain that it dropped and it came in a high tide.
If the levels would have held Katrina would be an after thought
by now! Al Gore blame this "intense Hurricane" on Global
Warming.
Hurricane Camille in 1969 came
in on the Gulf Coast with sustainable winds of 200mph a true
CAT5...this at a time that the alarmist told us we were going
into another ice age. Before that Hurricane Betsy ( 1963 )hit
the mouth of the Mississippi River and Flooded New Orleans. These
are all part of the natural cycle of things
The sun is going through a lengthy period of increased activity
that causes it to radiate more heat into space. Is it really
that hard to believe that a hotter sun would lead to a hotter
earth?
Our polar ice caps are melting? Sure looks like it. But .. the
polar ice caps on Mars are melting also. So, are we to believe
that this is caused by man on the Earth but by the hotter sun
on Mars?
The ice pack in the heart of Antarctica is actually getting thicker!
Scientific data clearly shows that the Earth has undergone warming
and cooling cycles for millions of years. Why, all of a sudden,
does a warming cycle just have to be caused by the actions of
man?
The Atmosphere has gotten only 1 degree warmer in the past Hundred
years!
Many of the people who are so involved in promoting the man-made
global warming theme are people who are also involved in anti-capitalist
movements. They want to cripple our economic capitalist systems
because they hate it so much. Why would China and India be exempt
with the pollution they cause? China is causing man-made rain
in cities because they are so polluted they need to clean the
atmosphere in those cities all the time to keep their people
from dying.
Remember also the Senate voted against the Kyoto Protocol 99-0
during the Clinton / Gore years...Not President Bush.
So the next time someone screams "Global Warming" ask
for the facts of how we are destroying our planet... not the
events that naturally go on around us.
