I wonder just how scientists are interpreting the data. How are they interpreting the data in context? Any scientist worth his or her 'sheepskin' might say all the data is rather inconclusive, instead of jumping on the intuitive leap hootenanny bandwagon.
Why not help other developing countries use their resources better and have smarter development? Why not help them develop sane government that can do this? Why not observe Arbor Day in this country and go plant a tree or two or three?
Yes, I was taught a lot of the "It's all going to Hell! We must take action now!" environmentalism back in school also. I have taken an inventory of it, and am trying to extirpate a lot of the neurotic alarmist nonsense.
I believe in the simple things. Keep the air and water as clean as possible. Keep an eye on industry and we should be okay. Everything else is in the hands of God or the creator.
Postscript.
I have been thinking. The environmentalists want us to switch to electric vehicles. Okay. These vehicles have to be charged. Just how much electricity does 100 vehicles use? How often a day? Now scale up that number to 10 million electric vehicles. Where is all this power going to come from? Can the current grid handle the demand and load? Can an electrical engineer tell me if it is possible to charge a vehicle with current solar panel technology? Do I need to use standard power off the grid to augment the charge of the battery pack if my groovy solar panels are not up to the task alone? Does it make economical sense for me to do it, or is going to be a wash?
I want these questions explored and answered.
