For all of the mouth-breathers
who point to the recent cold spell along America’s east coast as proof that
global climate change is some vast hoax I invite you to take a look at the
weather here in Valencia this month of January. Of course, only children
confuse weather for climate and a few days of cold or heat do not point to
anything in particular. My observation that we haven’t had anything approaching
winter temperatures here in this corner of Spain is simply anecdotal. I rely on
climate scientists to study the phenomena of weather more thoroughly and I put
my trust in what the vast majority of them are saying about the dangers of
doing nothing about man’s effect on the global climate.
On a recent American political
discussion show one guest—a Republican strategist—was completely flummoxed when
the subject of climate change was introduced. This person who is obviously
educated couldn’t possibly believe the load of shit Republicans are serving up
on this subject, mostly that global climate change is a hoax perpetuated by the
all-powerful university scientific lobby. The way Republicans cling to their
ridiculous views on the subject reminds me of kamikaze pilots flying into enemy
vessels without a moment’s hesitation to sacrifice all for their beliefs.
The clue is in the word 'global'.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how many people without a clue are leading my country.
ReplyDeleteMy liberal American friends complain about the climate, yet many do nothing about it. Save energy? Save water? Drive less? Recycle Trash? Multiple homes, lawns, cars? That's the norm for many of them. I have one small house, 1 hybrid car, 3 bikes, a xeric lawn, a garden, LED lights, a tankless water heater, recycle and compost bins, and I am some sort of hippie to them. No doubt conservatives are clueless, but many American liberals are useless.
