Climate Change Religion

This whole climate change argument has become religious. Those who subscribe to man-made climate change have become religious fanatics about it. They don't allow for any skepticism. Anyone who dares challenge the notion that man is the main reason for climate change is labeled the equivalent of a heretic. Those of us who are agnostic to the notion aren't offered the same common decency that other religious agnostics are afforded in America. There are some even calling for us ...to be imprisoned. Google it and you'll see that I am telling the truth.

This is scientific fact. Here in Iowa, there is evidence of both major glaciation, as well as Iowa being covered by water. The ground shows the glaciation and the limestone fossils show the water. Right now, we're somewhere in between. Scientitst themselves tell us that the last glacial event happened when Paleo-Indians were in Iowa. This means, within the time that man has been here in Iowa, we've seen the loss of glaciers, as well as the loss of the giant animals that used to roam here. Was that global warming? That happened in a blink of an eye too, on the earth being billions of years old scale.

Scientists say that earth has never warmed this quickly. Really? Who's to say? Ice cores? Who's to say that the rate of warming has to be constant? The sun isn't constant. Nothing is constant. Maybe this is a quick warm-up compared to others and man has nothing to do with it? To even postulate this is heretical now.

The problem with ascribing to this man-made global warming religion is that it involves placing heavy burdens on the poor and transferring American wealth and sovereignty to others. It's a tool for those creating vast sums of wealth based upon fear. Listen to the people screaming about Trump pulling out of the Paris accord. They are full of fear!

A final note. Those who ascribe to the belief that we evolved instead of being created tell us that it's survival of the fittest. Only the strong survive, as well as those who have been able to adapt. Shouldn't we be adapting to a changing climate instead of trying to change the climate? Do you realize how kooky that sounds? Man will control the climate? We're not talking about environmentalism, where we protect our water and air. We've been doing that long before this Paris accord. Christ, our water is cleaner now than it was in the 70's. Anyone else remember the acid rain terror?

BTW - When will the proponents of climate change, like Al Gore, start practicing what they preach? Only when they quit flying around in their private jets and taking limousine rides, I might get like Alfred E. Neuman in 1979 and start getting nervous. Until then, "What......me worry?"

The only time Alfred E. Neuman got worried. 1979 Three Mile Island incident.

The Pope and Climate Change

The Pope has called upon all nations of the Earth to address climate change. The Holy Father has been lead astray by the hype lathered up by big corporations who have scientists in their pocket looking to make billions off of a scared populace. When I was a child in the 1980’s, the big scare was acid rain. Today, nobody speaks about acid rain. I don’t even hear anyone complain about smog anymore, although it still exists. In the 1970’s, Iron Eyes Cody, who wasn’t even a real Indian, did public service announcements about cleaning up our environment.

No, trying to take care of the environment isn’t good enough anymore. Who can argue about making sure we have clean air and clean water? No, it’s all about trying to change our climate now. According to these scientists (and let’s be real, not all scientists are claiming global warming, but the ones who are, are calling the one’s who aren’t, all sorts of nasty names), our temperatures are getting hotter, and it’s all our fault. According to these scientists, we humans can do something to slow the warming of our planet. For those of us who don’t buy into this whole “it’s entirely our fault that the planet is warming”, they have made a nice little ribbon to pin on our head. They call us “global warming skeptics” or “global warming deniers”, and some have called for us to be put to death!

I would like to take the Pope and any other global warming alarmist and bring them right here to Iowa. When I was in school, I had a class that explained why Iowa looked like it did. You see, we were covered in glaciers not once, but several times. These glaciers came down from the north, covered us up for a long time, then receded. Why did the glaciers recede? Because the climate warmed, that’s why, and this was long before the industrial revolution. Ah, but the global warming alarmists will tell us that it has never happened this fast before. How do they really know? They claim science tells them this, but this is the fun part, there’s no way to prove their science is 100% correct. Nobody was around back then to record how fast or slow things happened. You see, in order to believe what they tell us, you have to have faith that their science is correct. These are the same bunch of folks who tell us one year that eggs will kill us, and then tell us they are fine the next.

Here in Iowa, there are tremendous limestone deposits and in that limestone, there are uncountable numbers of fossils. These are mainly in the form of seashells and other aquatic looking fossils, meaning, we were once under water here in Iowa! Wow! Imagine that! So the earth was once MUCH warmer and Iowa was covered in water. So, knowing this, why are we even trying to change the climate when we know that it can be much warmer, or even much colder? We are still within the acceptable range in my book. Listen, I’m not advocating that we live the type of lifestyle where we just go ahead and pollute the earth. That’s like shitting in your own bed, but this whole fallacy of crying about climate change, and pinning it on our shirts as if we can make it warmer or colder at will is silly. Even giant meteors fell to earth and messed the climate up drastic enough that it supposedly wiped out the dinosaurs and here we are today. If we really were the ones screwing up our planet, then guess what? We’ll die off and the planet will go back to getting warm and cold all on its own like it has for ages and ages before we ever entered into the picture.

Here’s the deal. Why are certain creatures from the time of the dinosaurs still here? Why did certain creatures survive into our modern age? It’s because they were the best creatures at adapting, and some had a little luck on their side. This is what we need to be focusing on if the earth is truly warming and if we are truly facing rising oceans. We need to figure out a way that we are going to adapt instead of trying to change the climate. The reason that we aren’t focusing on adapting is because there is a political agenda that fits hand in glove with crying about climate change. It has everything to do with oppressing freedom and controlling mankind. If we buy into this whole notion that we are to blame for raising temperatures, then we accept the fact that we are guilty of doing something wrong. What happens to those who are guilty of doing wrong? They pay a price! What price is to be paid for raising the temperature of the planet? Higher prices across the board for all goods, and a reduction in the quality of life that we have been accustomed to living. Do you see why they are trying to get us to believe that it’s man-made global warming and not just something that has been happening for millennia? If we focused on adapting, then there would be no guilty parties and nobody would want to pay the price because they wouldn’t feel guilty.

Sadly, the Pope and many of you have fallen into this terrible trap. Your desire to live in a clean and healthy world has been twisted into a belief that you are guilty of hurting our planet. You are made to believe that you must pay for your transgression and it makes you angry towards those who seemingly don’t feel bad. It’s like seeing someone run a dog over and not care in your book. How dare these people not feel bad for hurting the planet? I get it, but you have been duped. Instead, the Pope and everyone else for that matter, needs to shift the focus from climate change back to where it belongs, on living on a clean planet, and protecting the environment, and learning how to adapt in an ever changing world. That’s something that almost everyone can rally around.
