To Bill Nye and the global warming fanatics,

I’m sick and tired of hearing you trash those of us who are not convinced that global warming is an entirely man-made phenomenon. I live in Iowa. I was taught in school that the Paleo-Indians who first inhabited this land had to deal with glaciers. I also learned that the limestone that we find so abundantly full of fossils are proof that Iowa was once covered by an ocean. It seems to me that Iowa has been a very cold place, and a very warm place, much colder and much warmer than it is today.
In the Caribbean, divers have found cave paintings in caves now only accessible by water. They say this means that at one time, the water levels were much lower than they are today. How did those humans survive the warming that must have taken place since that time? They adapted.
That’s right, like every other living thing on this planet, they adapted to survive. Straight from the evolutionists own handbook – survival of the fittest. Those who adapt survive and those who don’t, become extinct.
What really annoys me about these global warming alarmists is that they scream bloody murder that the world is coming to an end while themselves being some of the largest contributors to “global warming”. These are the jet setters who fly in jet planes. These are the ones who live in fancy mansions, eat expensive food, and drive gas guzzling limousines, while preaching to the poor that it’s us that are harming the planet.
Not only that, science has a history of double talk. First, eggs were good for you. Then they were bad for you. Then they were good for you again. In the 1970’s, scientists actually thought we were going to go into a period of global cooling! This is the problem with modern science. Scientists claim to be professors on subjects that they have very little information on.
There is no way that we understand global climate enough to be able to determine that we are the sole cause of any global warming that may be taking place. When compared to the entire history of the planet, from the evolutionists own book, we have been on this earth but a brief moment. Scientists think they can tell the history of the earth based upon rocks and other things, but nobody has lived long enough to verify that what they are seeing is actually true. They are only telling themselves that because 2+2 comes out to be four, that it must be this way or that way, when in reality, there may be another, unforeseen reason why things are the way they are.
Listen, we are but flies in the universe. Out behind my home, there is a pasture where cows eat grass and pass the by-product out the other end. These cow patties are a favorite for flies. Now consider the fly out there munching on that cow patty.
Does that fly see my home? Yes, it does. Does it understand how my home got here? Does it understand I live inside of it? Does it understand the materials that make it up, and how they were manufactured, and the rules and regulations put in place regarding the building of my home? Let’s go further, does that fly understand that it’s looking at a town? Does it understand that beyond that town are other towns, all hooked together by roads? Does that fly understand New York City? Could it ever in it’s lifetime, fly from Iowa to New York City? Only if it gets transported in a vehicle, and even that’s something the fly doesn’t understand.
Does the fly understand that there is night and day, and why there is night and day? Does it understand gravity? Does it understand the seasons of the year? Will it ever live long enough to experience all four seasons? What is the life of a fly compared to our lives? It’s nothing more than a blip – which is exactly what we are compared to the existence of the universe.
We are but flies in the universe.
Now, you want to tell me that you understand everything that goes into planetary climate? Dream on!
What we can agree on is that the earth is changing. We need to find ways to adapt. If we don’t adapt, we die. Earth and the universe don’t care that somebody built a fancy home along the coast. If there were glaciers and floods before, there will be again.
Another thing we can all agree on is taking care of our planet. Who doesn’t want clean air? Who doesn’t want wholesome, healthy food? Who doesn’t want clean water? Who wouldn’t want to end fossil fuels and find a way to live more economically, using solar and other sources that are much cleaner and less expensive, while providing the same quality of life? Why try and convince us with controversial, little understood science instead of playing to the common good of mankind by keeping our planet clean? What’s wrong with the Indian with a tear in his eye? We live a lot cleaner today than we did in the 1970’s! It’s working! Let’s keep on that path! Why all of a sudden does the argument have to be about global warming? You do realize that a lot of people pushing this “global warming” argument stand to gain billions of dollars financially? Did they not teach you about scientific ethics and looking to see where the money is coming from?
It’s really sad because I really liked Bill Nye the Science Guy as a teenager. Now I see you as someone who is sadly misinformed, bitter, and not the nice guy he pretended to be on television.
In conclusion, I don’t buy the man-made global warming argument. I don’t deny that the planet may be warming, but I don’t think there’s much that we can do about it. I see people lined up to line their pockets over the panic created by this scare tactic. I see scientists who want to look really important professing to know so much about so little, and I just wonder why the argument has to be about global warming and not about keeping our planet clean and healthy. There would be far less pushback if they went the latter route.
