Exactly what facts do you want?  That the glaciers and ice caps are not melting?  That the sea levels are not rising?  But those are facts.  Perhaps there is some explanation other than global warming?  What would that be, then?

The fact that some people like Al Gore are making money from it doesn’t change the facts.  It adds the fact that Gore, along with other people are opportunists.  Of course he won’t debate it because he is not a scientist and not equipped to do so.  He is simply an opportunistic politician (a redundancy, I know) that serves as a front man because of his visibility and it does make money for him.  Evidence of his hypocrisy is in his personal lifestyle of a 20,000 sq ft house, executive jet travel, and other environmental sins. 

Nonetheless, AG’s hypocrisy and opportunism doesn’t change the facts of global warming.  His inability to debate it doesn’t alter the fact the there are plenty of real scientists qualified to do so and that are debating it every day.  So are the proponents of alternative energy sources scammers?  Some are, no doubt.  Follow the money.  Others are only misguided and painfully unaware of basic physics.

The total causes of global warming are not totally clear.  Even ardent supporters of it concede that.  That the exponentially increasing use of energy by humans is at least partially to blame is also clear.  What I believe is that a total change from fossil fuels is not the answer.  That ignores the law of conservation of energy.  All energy use, from whatever source eventually becomes heat.  If every car, bus, boat, train, and even plane in the world were powered by electricity created only from wind, hydro, and solar sources, it would not reduce the heat output by any significant amount.  It would only shift the cause from one thing to another.  Nor would using hydrogen be any different. 

All of these sources create heat when making electricity.  A generator or electric motor becomes hot when turning.  A battery becomes hot when charging or discharging.  Manufacturing any of these creates more heat as well as chemical pollution.  The big thing is heat pollution.  So what’s the answer to that?  Let’s look at the problem.  More and more people using more and more cars, refrigerators, TVs, computers, etc. 

As the global standard of living rises, as it is in the most populated areas like China and India, the energy consumption also rises.

The solution?  Fewer people.  Reduce the seven billion people on the planet to three or four billion and most of the problem disappears.    How do we do that?  By genuinely having a separation of church and state, something that certainly has never existed in the USA or most of the world.  Religions that promote endless reproduction are not only self-serving at the expense of humanity, they are contributing to the destruction of the environment as we know it.

As I have said many times, most of the problems of the world are, and always have been, caused by religion.  Add to those crimes, the destruction of the environment.

Just compare this outrageous falsehood to Ronald Reagans’ timeless wisdom:

“The most dangerous myth is the demagoguery that business can be made to pay a larger share, thus relieving the individual. Politicians preaching this are either deliberately dishonest, or economically illiterate, and either one should scare us.

…Only people pay taxes, and people pay as consumers every tax that is assessed against a business.”

And after the way the rammed this through the House with little debate, without legislators even reading it… and while quarantining the GOP from any meaningful input whatsoever, any foolhardy individuals who still believe Obama’s threadbare “bipartisanship” spiel ought to have their head examined.
