Watch this and judge for yourself. I
think it is healthy to look at alternative
perspectives. Most
folks these days act as if global
warming were an
irefutable fact. I
think the jury is still
out. I am
not "
anti-global
warming", if one can be such--either global warming is happening or it isn't, regardless of whether you "believe" in it or not. I
t may or may not be a
true phenomenon and time will tell.
What I am against is the
politicization of science and the silencing of alternative scientific explanations, on both sides.
It is simply
not good science when debate is closed, facts are distorted or ignored, and alternative theories are villified. Whether the meteoroligist in this video is right in his conclusions about the data he sees, I at least like his approach of looking at facts. You may quibble about the facts he uses, but if you do, I want to see some data to back it up, not unsubstantiated attacks like, "Yeah, well, he could have made up those maps and charts himself." Maybe he did. If you think so, then provide some evidence to back up the assertion. Don't just assume it. Having said all that; at the end to the day,
whether or not the earth is on an
overall warming trend attributal to humans, I
do think it makes good sense to conserve energy and resources,
and to have clean air and water, etc. Its too bad people need to be motivated by fear of calamity before they will act as responsible stewards of the earth.
