Climate Change Foolishness
Two headlines that are both misleading in my opinion:
Both articles contain assumptions that I think are bogus. In the first article, they make the assumption that global warming is continuing. Based on various articles I have read, it appears that global temperatures are either leveling off or falling slowly. The second article makes the assumption that the farmers can not adjust to this. The fact is, temperatures have only fallen to the levels we saw in the late 1980s. Until we see winters in the Dallas area worse than the ones I saw in the early 1980s, I won’t be worried. I remember a week (the week before spring break) with a foot of snow on the ground. The winter of 1989 Dallas did not get above freezing for over 2 weeks. Global cooling is nothing to panic over, yet.
Overall, I think people need to realize how little power man has over global temperatures. The biggest factor in global temperatures is the sun. This does not mean pollute all we want and be as inefficient as we want. It means that we have to carefully analyze any energy and environmental problems to make sure that they do not cause harm.
