Who cares about Global Warming....only people who care.

"The chaotic nature of weather means that no conclusion about climate can ever be drawn from a single data point, hot or cold. The temperature of one place at one time is just weather, and says nothing about climate, much less climate change, much less global climate change." http://grist.org/series/skeptics/

I think some of the controversy revolves around the words "Global Warming" which should be referred to as "Climate Change" They both mean the same thing but the first is more scary. 

Either side of the debate takes the data and spins it to their benefit. So all the stats from Tim are true. However, they are also true to the opposing opinion. If you look at http://climatechange.procon.org which talks about Human Causation, you will see the pros and the cons for climate change are the same. You can spin the data either way to fit your own opinion. 

What it comes down to is (like everything) your politics. For some reason if you are liberal then you are pro climate change. If you are conservative than you are against it. Why? 

Why is it that I drive a Prius so I get the stink eye from conservatives? They tell me I drive it because I’m a tree-hugging liberal who is feeding into the global warming scare. No you idiot. I drive a Prius because it gets 50mpg and I don’t want to spend $75 to fill my tank when I can spend $30. It’s not climate, it’s common sense. Why would you drive a gas guzzling Ford F150 that gets 12 mpg if you live in a gated community in a state with no snow? To me that makes no sense. By all means you have a right to do that, especially if that vehicle is your livelihood, but don’t you dare bitch and complain about high gas prices. You lost that right when you decide to drive a vehicle that you really don’t need to haul your kid’s soccer ball to the school soccer field 4 miles away from home. 

Why do politics determine what I think about climate change? Why is it if a democrat says something is true than a conservative MUST say the opposite or vice versa just because of the D or the R behind the name of the person saying it? Make your own decisions. Stop waiting to see what your favorite talking head tells you to believe. I’m hard on FOX NEWS I know this. Only because I can watch NBC, CBS, ABC or BBC and I get all kinds of opinions on weather. When I watch FOX I get ONE. ONE opinion, ONE view. I can’t live that way. 

Do I know for sure if humans cause climate change? Nope. And I don’t give a shit.


Do I think humans may be contributing to climate change? Common sense tells me to look at L.A. on a dry summer day, at Beijing on any given day, Seattle, NY, Chicago….look at any major city in any country and you can literally see the pollution hovering in the air. In L.A. the weather forecast is accompanied by a Smog Alert advising whether or not people with asthma should even go outside. That means the air is POISON to some people. If there is POISON floating in the air, wouldn’t common sense tell you that this may affect your weather???? That shit just doesn’t disappear. 

Have we had extremely hot decades or centuries and ice ages? Yes. Will we have them again? Yes. This is the way the Earth is. It will never stop evolving. Do I think we are not doing it any favors by pouring shit into the air? YES. 

We are not the reason for climate change but we aren’t helping it either. It’s happening. Hurricanes are stronger and more frequent. Winters are colder. Summers are hotter. This is the way it is in OUR life time. 100 years from now it will be different. That is still no reason to fill the air with crap that doesn’t need to be there. 

For all the Christians out there, I don’t think your God really appreciates you destroying a planet he created for you to live on….just saying.
