Curmudgeon Cancels Climate Change

 What caused climate change before man roamed the world?

What caused climate change before the Industrial Age?

Is it possible that the big shiny object in the daytime sky has more effect on the temperature of the earth than the environmentalists will admit? To use my favorite analogy, if I am sitting in the living room with a fire roaring in the fireplace, is the room temperature more affected by the fire or by me farting?

Photosynthesis is the process where plants grow and in the process, turn carbon dioxide into oxygen. Will reducing the available amount of carbon dioxide in the air to end climate change also reduce the amount of oxygen produced?

Is farming out all of the world's manufacturing to China and India (who appear unconcerned about climate change) going to solve the alleged climate change crisis? Do their emissions not count?

How does paying a tax, such as purchasing carbon credits, change the climate?

Does anyone with more than a room temperature IQ think that we can produce enough "clean" electricity to fuel the nation's transportation requirements? If you believe in wind and solar as good replacements for fossil fuels, you must have slept through the last winter storm and the effect on Texas and other states. In California, they can't produce enough electricity to avoid blackouts and brownouts in the summer now.  What's going to produce all of the electricity to power all of those cars sitting in traffic in California? In California, they have decided to close down their last nuclear plant several years before it was scheduled. By the way, those wind turbines are killing multitudes of birds. 

In California, Pacific Gas & Electric has announced that they will bury 10,000 miles of overhead cables to help prevent fires. Wait until you get the bill for that! 

Here's a personal example of the stupidity of this whole , "We will all have to drive electric vehicles" movement. As I write this the operation of my A/C at home is controlled by Duke Power. During peak usage periods, they control the power going to the A/C. I signed up for this program for a small discount on my bill. If we can't run our conditioners like we want, how in the hell are we going to have enough power to run all of the cars? Where is all that electricity going to come from?  Maybe we should all watch old reruns of Gilligan's Island and see how they lived without electricity. HA!!

In 1970 in my physics class in high school, we had a discussion on the "coming ice age". This was the popular theory at that time. The "inconvenient" truth is that the climate is going to keep changing, despite or in spite of whatever we do. 

The whole climate change freak show is a testimony to the arrogance and the stupidity of mankind. We are simply not all powerful. There are some things that we can not control. Putting six people on an electric moped is not going to save the planet. Get a life!!
